Newer GCC versions can generate some different instances of a function with suffixed symbols if the function is optimized and only has a part of that. (e.g. .constprop, .part etc.) In this case, it is not enough to check the entry of kprobe blacklist because it only records non-suffixed symbol address. To fix this issue, search non-suffixed symbol in blacklist if given address is within a symbol which has a suffix. Note that this can cause false positive cases if a kprobe-safe function is optimized to suffixed instance and has same name symbol which is blacklisted. But I would like to chose a fail-safe design for this issue.

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.
