Hi Jiri,

Sorry about the noise. My email seems to be rejected to the list. Resending
with plain text.

s390 has overlapping address space. As suggested by the commit,
ARCH_HAS_NON_OVERLAPPING_ADDRESS_SPACE should not be enabled for s390 kernel.
This should be changed in bpftrace application.

Even if we enable ARCH_HAS_NON_OVERLAPPING_ADDRESS_SPACE, bpf_probe_read will
only work in certain cases like kernel pointer deferences (kprobes).  User
pointer deferences in uprobes/kprobes/etc will fail or have some invalid data

I am looking forward to this fix: https://github.com/iovisor/bpftrace/pull/1141
OR probe split in bpftrace.

Thank you

Best Regards
Sumanth
