I see your point. For __func__, the compiler generates a local symbol in
.rodata that should always be accessible by its address.

One case that doesn't work without my patch would be trace-cmd record to save
the binary ringbuffer and trace-cmd report to parse it in userspace. The
address of __func__ can't be dereferenced from userspace but tracepoint_string
will add an entry to /sys/kernel/tracing/printk_formats
