I have a hunch that this explicit padding might break on big-endian
architectures?..

Can you instead include "vmlinux.h" in this file and use struct
trace_event_raw_sys_enter? you'll just need ctx->args[2] to get that
buffer pointer.

Alternatively, and it's probably simpler overall would be to just
provide user-space pointer through global variable:

void *user_ptr;


bpf_probe_read_user_str(buf, ..., user_ptr);

From user-space:

skel->bss->user_ptr = &my_userspace_buf;

Full control. You can trigger tracepoint with just an usleep(1), for instance.
