Could you also check to run the testcases by using ftracetest as below?

$ cd tools/testing/selftests/ftrace/
$ sudo ./ftracetest

And I'm not sure about linker table. Is that possible to support
__kprobes prefix, which moves the functions into kprobes.text?
Actually, I'm on the way to replacing __kprobes to NOKPROBE_SYMBOL
macro, since NOKPROBE_SYMBOL() doesn't effect the kernel text itself.
On x86, it is already replaced (see commit 820aede0209a), and same
work should be done on other archs. So, could you hold this after
that? I think we should remove .kprobes.text first and move to
linker table.

Thank you,
