[ Upstream commit 354b064b8ebc1e1ede58550ca9e08bfa81e6af43 ]
In some cases, a symbol may have multiple aliases. Attempting to add an entry probe for such symbols results in a probe being added at an incorrect location while it fails altogether for return probes. This is only applicable for binaries with debug information.
During the arch-dependent post-processing, the offset from the start of the symbol at which the probe is to be attached is determined and added to the start address of the symbol to get the probe's location. In case there are multiple aliases, this offset gets added multiple times for each alias of the symbol and we end up with an incorrect probe location.
This can be verified on a powerpc64le system as shown below.
$ nm /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build/vmlinux | grep "sys_open$" ... c000000000414290 T __se_sys_open c000000000414290 T sys_open

For both the entry probe and the return probe, the probe location should be _text+4276888 (0xc000000000414298). Since another alias exists for 'sys_open', the post-processing code will end up adding the offset (8 for powerpc64le) twice and perf will attempt to add the probe at _text+4276896 (0xc0000000004142a0) instead.
