Thanks Stephen for the fix and Josh for both reporting and confirming
that the fix works.
Stephen, Along with the parameter interchange, I also modified the
parameter name so that they dont confuse with the argument names in
match_uprobe. Otherwise 'r' in __find_uprobe would correspond to 'l' in
match_uprobe. The result is something like below.
I am resending the faulty patch with the fix and also checked in the fix
into my git tree.
