Hmm, this seems a bit different what I suggested.

I'm trying to port probe event's error report on
your error log, and I found that the number is
just shifted as below.

When I filled the log with errors.
=============
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing # cat error_log 
[1] trace_kprobe: error: Invalid unsigned integer string
  Command: r10aa00:foo/bar vfs
            ^
...

[7] trace_kprobe: error: Group name must follow C naming convention
  Command: p:a-b/bar vfs_read
             ^
[8] trace_kprobe: error: Event name is too long
  Command: 
p:a/barrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
 vfs_read
=============

And do one more error, 

=============
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing # cat error_log 
[1] trace_kprobe: error: Maxactive is too big
  Command: r0xaa00:foo/bar vfs

....

[7] trace_kprobe: error: Event name is too long
  Command: 
p:a/barrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
 vfs_read
               ^
[8] trace_kprobe: error: Event name must follow C naming convention
  Command: p:a/bar.c vfs_read
               ^
=============

The number of logs are changed :(  This can confuse users.
I think it is better to keep the number as a unique number for
each entry as below.

=============
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing # cat error_log 
[2] trace_kprobe: error: Maxactive is too big
  Command: r0xaa00:foo/bar vfs

....

[8] trace_kprobe: error: Event name is too long
  Command: 
p:a/barrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
 vfs_read
               ^
[9] trace_kprobe: error: Event name must follow C naming convention
  Command: p:a/bar.c vfs_read
               ^
=============

Thank you,
