To test that that function is being called I just added a probe on that
place, enabled it via 'perf trace' asking for at most 16 levels of
backtraces, system wide, and then ran 'perf top' on another xterm,
voilà:

  # perf probe -x ~/bin/perf dso__process_kernel_symbol
  Added new event:
    probe_perf:dso__process_kernel_symbol (on dso__process_kernel_symbol in /home/acme/bin/perf)

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

  	perf record -e probe_perf:dso__process_kernel_symbol -aR sleep 1

  # perf trace -e probe_perf:dso__process_kernel_symbol/max-stack=16/ --max-events=2
  # perf trace -e probe_perf:dso__process_kernel_symbol/max-stack=16/ --max-events=2
