'perf probe' and symbols from .text.<something>

Hi,

It seems, 'perf probe' can only see functions from .text section in the 
kernel modules, but not from .text.unlikely or other .text.* sections.

For example, with kernel 5.11 and nf_conntrack.ko with debug info, 'perf 
probe' succeeds for nf_conntrack_attach() from .text and fails for 
nf_ct_resolve_clash() from .text.unlikely:

------------

Is there a way to allow probing of functions in .text.<something> ?

Of course, one could place probes using absolute addresses of the 
functions but that would be less convenient.

This also affects many livepatch modules where the kernel code can be 
compiled with -ffunction-sections and each function may end up in a 
separate section .text.<function_name>. 'perf probe' cannot be used 
there, except with the absolute addresses.

Moreover, if FGKASLR patches are merged 
(https://lwn.net/Articles/832434/) and the kernel is built with FGKASLR 
enabled, -ffunction-sections will be used too. 'perf probe' will be 
unable to see the kernel functions then.
