[Bug translator/11424] dwarfless kprobe.* probes don't validate at translate time


------- Additional Comments From fche at redhat dot com  2010-03-23 21:15 -------
This is because kprobe.* probes cannot currently be tested
for validity at translate time.  If the logic looked through
a symbol table of some sort, it could work.  It could then
expand wildcards.

session.exported_symbols is actually a plausible source of
such data, even though it's only a subset.  $kernel-builddir/System.map
is another plausible source.
