You can port and use _ASM_NOKPROBE(symbol) macro in .S file.

In arch/x86/include/asm/asm.h, it is defined as below.

# define _ASM_NOKPROBE(entry)                                   \
        .pushsection "_kprobe_blacklist","aw" ;                 \
        _ASM_ALIGN ;                                            \
        _ASM_PTR (entry);                                       \
        .popsection
