Hi, Tetsuo,

You are right. The bug is actually introduced by my last patch. I just
focused one aspect of issue and inadvertently introduced another
*blocker* bug.

I just pushed a patch. Thanks a lot for reporting the issue and
testing out the fix.

Hello.

I changed the hook as below and confirmed that cp == NULL at bpf_probe_read().
That is, it is bpf_usdt_readarg() which got broken.

----------
int do_start(struct pt_regs *ctx) {
char *cp = NULL;
bpf_usdt_readarg(1, ctx, &cp);
struct { char query[QUERY_MAX]; } data = { };
if (cp != NULL)
bpf_probe_read(&data.query, sizeof(data.query), (void *) cp);
else
data.query[0] = '!';
events.perf_submit(ctx, &data, sizeof(data));
return 0;
};
----------

If I do

- std::string cptr = tfm::format("*((volatile %s *)dest)", ctype);
+ std::string cptr = tfm::format("*((%s *)dest)", ctype);

(i.e. drop only "volatile " part) in that commit like below

USDT probe works again as well as build warning shown below goes away.
