An issue can be observed when probe C++ demangled symbol with steps:
# nm test_cpp_mangle | grep print_data
0000000000000c94 t _GLOBAL__sub_I__Z10print_datai
0000000000000afc T _Z10print_datai
0000000000000b38 T _Z10print_dataR5Point
# perf probe -x /home/niayan01/test_cpp_mangle -F --demangle
...
print_data(Point&)
print_data(int)
...
# perf --debug verbose=3 probe -x test_cpp_mangle --add "test=print_data(int)"
probe-definition(0): test=print_data(int)

When tried to probe symbol "print_data(int)", the log shows:
Symbol print_data(int) address found : afc
The found address is 0xafc - which is right with verifying the output
result from nm. Afterwards when write event, the command uses offset
0xb38 in the last log, which is a wrong address.
The dwarf_diename() gets a common function name, in above case, it
returns string "print_data". As a result, the tool parses the offset
based on the common name. This leads to probe at the wrong symbol
"print_data(Point&)".
To fix the issue, use the die_get_linkage_name() function to retrieve
the distinct linkage name - this is the mangled name for the C++ case.
Based on this unique name, the tool can get a correct offset for
probing. Based on DWARF doc, it is possible the linkage name is missed
in the DIE, it rolls back to use dwarf_diename().
After:
# perf --debug verbose=3 probe -x test_cpp_mangle --add "test=print_data(int)"
probe-definition(0): test=print_data(int)
symbol:print_data(int) file:(null) line:0 offset:0 return:0 lazy:(null)

You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe_test_cpp_mangle:test -aR sleep 1
# perf --debug verbose=3 probe -x test_cpp_mangle --add "test2=print_data(Point&)"

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
