[RFC PATCH v1 1/1] tracing/kprobe: Add multi-probe support for 'perf_kprobe' PMU

[Francis Laniel]

When using sysfs, it is possible to create kprobe for several kernel functions
sharing the same name, but of course with different addresses, by writing their
addresses in kprobe_events file.

When using PMU, if only the symbol name is given, the event will be created for
the first address which matches the symbol, as returned by
kallsyms_lookup_name().
The idea here is to search all kernel functions which match this symbol and
create a trace_kprobe for each of them.
All these trace_kprobes are linked together by sharing the same trace_probe.
