One more thing maybe, the code in question was rewritten
by Masami in 9178412ddf5a ("tracing: probeevent: Return consumed
bytes of dynamic area”) which is in v4.20 but the problem traces back
to the original commit mentioned above, so it will need manual so we
will need a slightly modified version for earlier kernels.
