Masami, do we really need to cap it at 64 bytes? And would it be
possible to improve that error reporting? I.e. this isn't an "argument
list", right?

Masami? You gave this explanation at some point, but I forgot, aliases?
Inlining?
Would be interesting to warn the user why multiple probes are being
created, no?
Alex, you can try using wildcards in this case, i.e.:
perf record -e probe_libjvm:a* your-workload
That if you don't have other probes in place starting with the same
prefix :-\
