Maybe I misunderstood your advice. Your suggestion might be to extend 
bpf_tracing.h to kernel-space pt_regs, while some archs, like arm64, 
only support user-space. So the patch might be like this:

diff --git a/tools/lib/bpf/bpf_tracing.h b/tools/lib/bpf/bpf_tracing.h
index db05a5937105..2c3cb8e9ae92 100644
