Ah, I see.

static int create_trace_kprobe(int argc, char **argv)
...
        } else {
                /* a symbol specified */
                symbol = argv[1];
                /* TODO: support .init module functions */
                ret = traceprobe_split_symbol_offset(symbol, &offset);
                if (ret) {
                        pr_info("Failed to parse symbol.\n");
                        return ret;
                }
                if (offset && is_return &&
                    !arch_function_offset_within_entry(offset)) {
                        pr_info("Given offset is not valid for return probe.\n");
                        return -EINVAL;
                }
        }

So, actually, traceprobe_split_symbol_offset() just split out symbol
and offset from symbol string (e.g. "_text+3539616").
So, you should use kallsyms_lookup_size_offset() here again to check
offset.

Please try attached patch (I've already tested on x86-64).

$ sudo ./perf probe -a user_read%return
Added new events:
  probe:user_read      (on user_read%return)
  probe:user_read_1    (on user_read%return)

You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

	perf record -e probe:user_read_1 -aR sleep 1

$ sudo ./perf probe -l
  probe:user_read      (on user_read%return@...urity/keys/user_defined.c)
  probe:user_read_1    (on user_read%return@...inux/ss/policydb.c)
$ sudo cat /sys/kernel/debug/kprobes/list
ffffffff9637bf70  r  user_read+0x0    [DISABLED][FTRACE]
ffffffff963602f0  r  user_read+0x0    [DISABLED][FTRACE]

Thank you,
