hi,
looks like that's the case.. thanks for fixing that

btw while checking on that I found kprobe_multi bench attach test
takes forever on latest bpf-next/master

test_kprobe_multi_bench_attach:PASS:bpf_program__attach_kprobe_multi_opts 0 nsec
test_kprobe_multi_bench_attach: found 56140 functions
test_kprobe_multi_bench_attach: attached in 89.174s
test_kprobe_multi_bench_attach: detached in 13.245s
#113/1 kprobe_multi_bench_attach/kernel:OK

Masami,
any idea of any change on fprobe/ftrace side recently? I'm going to check ;-)

thanks,
jirka
