Thanks for working on this!

Capturing a histogram with a histogram trigger on the synthetic
event[1] seems to work as expected for me.

However, I tried creating the synthetic event, and then capturing a
histogram from it using bpftrace [2], and this doesn't seem to work.
It's completely possible I'm just doing something wrong, or the
bpftrace I'm using is buggy (getting it to work with __data_loc fields
at all requires a super bleeding edge bpftrace [3]). bpftrace reports
that it fails to attach to the synthetic event, and I hit some
WARN_ONs [4].

Does it seem possible this issue is related? If not, feel free to
disregard. :) I'll spend some more time digging into this tomorrow.

trigger...)
