Please see my test result in v2 patch [1]. In symsrc__init() build-id
would be checked.

# ./perf probe -m ./mymodule.ko my_func
Added new event:
probe:my_func (on my_func in /home/wangnan/kmodule/mymodule.ko)

You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

perf record -e probe:my_func -aR sleep 1

# ./perf probe -d '*'
Removed event: probe:my_func
# mv ./mymodule.{ko,.bak}
# mv ./moduleb.ko mymodule.ko
# ./perf probe -m ./mymodule.ko my_func
