Oh, I had faced similar bug for fentry.
3d918a12a1b3 ("perf probe: Find fentry mcount fuzzed parameter location")
GCC dwarf generator tends to skip this kind of function entry information...

Thanks for reporting it!

Hmm, it can affects the perf probe with local variables with ftrace
infrastructure.
Now the debuginfo (dwarf_entrypc(DIE)) will return the actual symbol address
+offset (offset depends on -fpatchable-function-entry). In this case,
if perf-probe put a probe on a function entry, it will be a bit shifted.
So, the probe always uses SW break instead of ftrace...Ah, ok...I recalled.
Before discussing it, I need to restart the kprobe on ftrace for arm64.
It has been discussed last year, but stopped.

Hmm, actually, the return probe doesn't need debuginfo since it has
no information of the local variables when the function returns (of course
usually all local variables are gone at that point). In that case you can
just stop using debuginfo for return probe.
(for the future work, it should support recording the contents of
"pointer passing" arguments at return probe, but currently it is not
supported yet. So this must be done in another series.)
e.g.
$ ./perf probe -D "eventfd_signal%return ctx->count"
Semantic error :You can't specify local variable for kretprobe.
So, this should work.
