commit 80526491c2ca6abc028c0f0dbb0707a1f35fb18a upstream.
Fix to check kprobe blacklist address correctly with relocated address
by adjusting debuginfo address.
Since the address in the debuginfo is same as objdump, it is different
from relocated kernel address with KASLR. Thus, 'perf probe' always
misses to catch the blacklisted addresses.
Without this patch, 'perf probe' can not detect the blacklist addresses
on a KASLR enabled kernel.
# perf probe kprobe_dispatcher
Failed to write event: Invalid argument
Error: Failed to add events.
#
With this patch, it correctly shows the error message.
# perf probe kprobe_dispatcher
kprobe_dispatcher is blacklisted function, skip it.
Probe point 'kprobe_dispatcher' not found.
Error: Failed to add events.

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.
