However, 5.10.y didn't backport the kernel commit b022f0c7e404 ("tracing/kprobes: Return EADDRNOTAVAIL when func matches several symbols")to support the functionality from kernel side. Backport it in this patch series. The first two patches are presiquisites. The 4th commit is a fix commit for the 3rd one.Should we just revert the selftest test instead? That seems simpler instead of adding a new feature to this old and obsolete kernel tree, right?
Greg, I read the cover letter the same way and asked myself the same question, but looking at the patches it's actually a fix for something that's broken on 5.10 and was just uncovered by the selftest. I think we should take it. -- Thanks, Sasha
