We indicate support for accepting sym+offset with kretprobes through a line in ftrace README. Parse the same to identify support and choose the appropriate format for kprobe_events. As an example, without this perf patch, but with the ftrace changes: naveen@ubuntu:~/linux/tools/perf$ sudo cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/README | grep kretprobe place (kretprobe): [<module>:]<symbol>[+<offset>]|<memaddr> naveen@ubuntu:~/linux/tools/perf$ naveen@ubuntu:~/linux/tools/perf$ sudo ./perf probe -v do_open%return probe-definition(0): do_open%return symbol:do_open file:(null) line:0 offset:0 return:1 lazy:(null) 0 arguments Looking at the vmlinux_path (8 entries long) Using /boot/vmlinux for symbols Open Debuginfo file: /boot/vmlinux Try to find probe point from debuginfo.

README
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
