Would you have any plan to list or mark the noinstr symbols on
some debugfs interface? I need a blacklist of those symbols so that
user (and perf-probe) can check which function can not be probed.

It is just calling kprobe_add_area_blacklist() like below.

diff --git a/kernel/kprobes.c b/kernel/kprobes.c
index 2625c241ac00..4835b644bd2b 100644

 }
 
Thank you,
