Nope, even then:

[root@quaco ~]# perf probe -D __amd_put_nb_event_constraints
p:probe/__amd_put_nb_event_constraints _text+33789
[root@quaco ~]# grep __amd_put_nb_event_constraints /proc/kallsyms
[root@quaco ~]#

Ok, maybe this may help:

[root@quaco ~]# perf probe -v -D __amd_put_nb_event_constraints |& grep vmlinux
Looking at the vmlinux_path (8 entries long)
