Another case perf probe do_fork clone_flags now looks for variable clone_flags in kernel function do_fork.
But if we allow to trace perf probe zsh zfree; then 'perf probe do_fork clone_flags' should it check for do_fork executable or not? If it does check and finds one, and searches for clone_flags function and doesnt find, then should it continue with searching the kernel?
