Since perf probe -L shows non representive lines, it can be mislead
users where user can put probes. This prevents to show such non
representive lines so that user can understand which lines user can
probe.
# perf probe -L kernel_read
<kernel_read@/build/linux-pvZVvI/linux-5.0.0/fs/read_write.c:0>

See the 1, 3, 5 lines? They shouldn't be there, after this patch:

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
