Ok, actually vmalloc_fault is marked as a nokprobe symbol.
$ grep vmalloc_fault -r arch/x86/
arch/x86/mm/fault.c:static noinline int vmalloc_fault(unsigned long address)
arch/x86/mm/fault.c:NOKPROBE_SYMBOL(vmalloc_fault);
arch/x86/mm/fault.c:static noinline int vmalloc_fault(unsigned long address)
arch/x86/mm/fault.c:NOKPROBE_SYMBOL(vmalloc_fault);
arch/x86/mm/fault.c: if (vmalloc_fault(address) >= 0)
All the symbols which marked by NOKPROBE_SYMBOL macro can not be
kprobed. And we now have <debugfs>/kprobes/blacklist special file
to get all nokprobe symbols.
I'll make another perf-probe patch which looks the blacklist before
trying define new events.
Thank you,
