This is not right, but you've spotted a bug.
bpf_probe_read_kernel
It should be BPF_CALL_3(bpf_probe_read_kernel, void *, dst, u32, size,
           const void *, unsafe_ptr)
here in kernel/bpf/core.c as well otherwise bpf prog won't
pass the arguments correctly on 32-bit arches.
The kconfig without CONFIG_BPF_EVENTS and with BPF_SYSCALL is very odd.
I suspect the progs will likely refuse to load,
but still worth fixing it correctly at least to document the calling convention.
