No, I don't like fprobe_blacklist, because you can filter user given
function with <tracefs>/available_filter_functions :)
If the function is not listed there, you can not put fprobe on it.
IOW, kprobe_multi_link_prog_run only covers those functions. (white-list)

At the tooling side, it should check whether the probe is defined for
single function or multiple functions, and use kprobe-blacklist (single)
or available_filter_functions (multiple).

Thank you,
