Please see my test result in v2 patch [1]. In symsrc__init() build-id
would be checked.

  # ./perf probe -m ./mymodule.ko my_func
  Added new event:
    probe:my_func        (on my_func in /home/wangnan/kmodule/mymodule.ko)

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

  	perf record -e probe:my_func -aR sleep 1

  # ./perf probe -d '*'
  Removed event: probe:my_func
  # mv ./mymodule.{ko,.bak}
  # mv ./moduleb.ko mymodule.ko
  # ./perf probe -m ./mymodule.ko my_func
