Hi Vince,

Thanks for the report.

This is a new API that creates probe together with perf_event_open(). Based on
my limited understanding of perf_fuzzer, it doesn't understand this API, and uses
it in an abnormal way. I would recommend perf_fuzzer to understand this new
API and test it. For more information about using this API, please refer to the
man-page diff available at:

https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10097283/

Thanks again for the test and report. Please let me know if you have further
questions.

Best,
Song
