That's a good point! I'm checking fprobe, but kprobes actually
uses those suffixed names.

So maybe fprobe doesn't accept that.

OK, that's not a problem. My concern is that some "constprop" functions
will replace a part of parameter with constant value (so it can skip
passing some arguments). BTF argument may not work in such case.
Let me check it.

Thank you,
