Symbols are needed for tools to describe instruction addresses. Pages allocated for ftrace's purposes need symbols to be created for them. Add such symbols to be visible via /proc/kallsyms. Example on x86 with CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE=y # echo function > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer # cat /proc/kallsyms | grep '\[__builtin__ftrace\]' ffffffffc0238000 t ftrace_trampoline [__builtin__ftrace] Note: This patch adds "__builtin__ftrace" as a module name in /proc/kallsyms for symbols for pages allocated for ftrace's purposes, even though "__builtin__ftrace" is not a module.
