Could you dump the kprobe_event as below?

# cat /sys/kernel/tracing/kprobe_events

And dump the kprobe profile?

# cat /sys/kernel/tracing/kprobe_profile

Could you tell me what kernel are you using?

I'm using 5.4 on ubuntu and can not reproduce it with kprobe_event.

Hmm, maybe some issue in the latest kernel...?
