SubjectRe: [PATCH -tip v3 00/23] kprobes: introduce NOKPROBE_SYMBOL() and general cleaning of kprobe blacklist

AFAIK, no kernel since kprobes was introduced has ever stood up to
that test. perf probe lacks the wildcarding powers of systemtap, so
one needs to resort to something like:

# cat /proc/kallsyms | grep ' [tT] ' | while read addr type symbol; do
perf probe $symbol
done

then wait for a few hours for that to finish. Then, or while the loop
is still running, run

# perf record -e 'probe:*' -aR sleep 1

to take a kernel down.
