Thanks for the patch.  While it does fix the problem, I'd prefer a
"compiler-agnostic" patch.  The problem is that m1 and m2 (the two
functions where probe 'two' is being defined) are exactly the same, so
they get optimized by GCC's ICF pass.  Since the contents of each
function are irrelevant (as long as there's a probe 'two' inside them),
I think declaring a dummy variable in one of the functions (probably
volatile) would solve the issue.  WDYT?
