From: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) <mhiramat@kernel.org>

Check the number of probe target symbols in the target module when
the module is loaded. If the probe is not on the unique name symbols
in the module, it will be rejected at that point.

Note that the symbol which has a unique name in the target module,
it will be accepted even if there are same-name symbols in the
kernel or other modules,

 Updated from last October post, which was dropped by test failure:
    https://lore.kernel.org/linux-trace-kernel/169854904604.132316.12500381416261460174.stgit@devnote2/
 Changes in v2:
  - Fix to skip checking uniqueness if the target module is not loaded.
  - Fix register_module_trace_kprobe() to pass correct symbol name.
  - Fix to call __register_trace_kprobe() from module callback.

This says what it does, but doesn't explain why it is doing it.
What's the purpose of this patch?

Thank you for pointing it out, I just reused the description which I
sent last year. It needs to be updated.

Currently, kprobe event checks whether the target symbol name is
unique, so that it does not put a probe on unexpected place. But this
skips the check if the target is on a module. This fixes the issue
by checking the symbol is unique in the target module if the target
is on a module.

Thanks!
