Hmm, in that case, you need to change something in tracefs/README so that
we can identify the kernel has different behavior. Or we have to change
this is a "Fix" for backporting.

For this tracing feature, I rather like to use tools/testing/selftests/ftrace
to test it. And it is used on all stable kernel, that is why we need to add
some change on tracefs/README or something.
But I would like to wait for Alessandro's work. After his work, in this time
we need to probe all the same-name symbols as your original patch does.
This is because 1:n mapping can happen as Alessandro pointed in
https://lore.kernel.org/all/CAPp5cGQsRdB0+KHR1wX2bDDdc5sTzSNPA417PNJb0ypmV=yS6w@mail.gmail.com/
But if his feature is configurable (and maybe so), we need to keep this
version... We have many options.
- this normal kallsyms: the same-name symbols should not be used.
- enhanced kallsyms (if 1:n symbol has the same suffix): the same name symbols
should be probed at once.
- enhanced kallsyms (if 1:n symbol has different suffix): the same-name symbol
must not exist.

No, it is a tracefs interface and we don't have man pages yet.
