I put a tracepoint in the ipv4/ipv6 add/del address code. The IPv4 one 
prints the address using pi4 and pI4 and the IPv6 using pi6, pI6 and pI6c.

Using ifconfig eth1 1.2.3.4/24

I get this for trace_pipe which uses the in-kernel printf code:

root@localhost:/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events# cat ../trace_pipe
         ifconfig-601   [000] ....   710.660611: ipv4_del_addr: 
pI4=1.2.3.4 pi4=001.002.003.004
         ifconfig-602   [000] ....   720.833559: ipv4_add_addr: 
pI4=1.2.3.4 pi4=001.002.003.004
         ifconfig-602   [000] .Ns.   720.833966: ipv6_add_addr: 
pi6=fe80000000000000000202fffe020211 
pI6=fe80:0000:0000:0000:0002:02ff:fe02:0211 pI6c=fe80::2:2ff:fe02:211
         ifconfig-602   [000] ....   720.835413: ipv4_del_addr: 
pI4=1.2.3.4 pi4=001.002.003.004
         ifconfig-602   [000] .N..   720.835451: ipv4_add_addr: 
pI4=1.2.3.4 pi4=001.002.003.004


And this using perf:
root@localhost:~# perf record -a -e  ipv4:* -e ipv6:* --no-buffering | 
perf --no-pager script

        ifconfig   601 [000]   710.912862: ipv4:ipv4_del_addr: 
pI4=1.2.3.4 pi4=001.002.003.004
         ifconfig   602 [000]   721.090776: ipv4:ipv4_add_addr: 
pI4=1.2.3.4 pi4=001.002.003.004
         ifconfig   602 [000]   721.091177: ipv6:ipv6_add_addr: 
pi6=fe80000000000000000202fffe020211 
pI6=fe80:0000:0000:0000:0002:02ff:fe02:0211 pI6c=fe80::2:2ff:fe02:211
         ifconfig   602 [000]   721.092626: ipv4:ipv4_del_addr: 
pI4=1.2.3.4 pi4=001.002.003.004
         ifconfig   602 [000]   721.092648: ipv4:ipv4_add_addr: 
pI4=1.2.3.4 pi4=001.002.003.004

(Don't be fooled by the differing timestamps; data collected from both 
using the same exact command. timestamp differences are perf vs tracing.)

which suggest with the patch perf output matches tracing.
