If we want this format, we can change code to:

   ---
 kernel/tracepoint.c | 3 ++-
 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-)

diff --git a/kernel/tracepoint.c b/kernel/tracepoint.c
index abfd0ac1177f..5a5041f32cc8 100644
--- a/kernel/tracepoint.c
+++ b/kernel/tracepoint.c
@@ -127,7 +127,8 @@ static void debug_print_probes(struct 
tracepoint_func *funcs)
                return;

        for (i = 0; funcs[i].func; i++)
-               printk(KERN_DEBUG "Probe %d : %p\n", i, funcs[i].func);
+               printk(KERN_DEBUG "Probe %d : [ %p ] %pS\n",
+                               i, funcs[i].func, funcs[i].func);
 }


The output will look like:

[   63.818829] Probe 0 : [ 0000000032848d41 ] 
perf_trace_sched_wakeup_template+0x0/0x20
[   63.819287] Probe 0 : [ 00000000fe8cca4d ]
