Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo f2baa060cd perf symbols: Stop using map->groups, we can use kmaps instead
To test that that function is being called I just added a probe on that
place, enabled it via 'perf trace' asking for at most 16 levels of
backtraces, system wide, and then ran 'perf top' on another xterm,
voilà:

  # perf probe -x ~/bin/perf dso__process_kernel_symbol
  Added new event:
    probe_perf:dso__process_kernel_symbol (on dso__process_kernel_symbol in /home/acme/bin/perf)

  You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

  	perf record -e probe_perf:dso__process_kernel_symbol -aR sleep 1

  # perf trace -e probe_perf:dso__process_kernel_symbol/max-stack=16/ --max-events=2
  # perf trace -e probe_perf:dso__process_kernel_symbol/max-stack=16/ --max-events=2

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
