    I thought bpf programs were not API. And why are they not parsing this
    information? They have these offsets hard coded???? Why would they do that!
    The information to extract the data where ever it is has been there from
    day 1! Way before BPF ever had access to trace events.

    Please, STOP HARD CODING FIELD OFFSETS!!!! This is why people do not want
    to use trace points in the first place. Because tools do stupid things.
