These debug messages can go away.

Just curious. Why is this necessary?

__cmd_script() is probably not a good name. Maybe just
process_tpebs_samples()? Also 'cmd' is actually used.

I don't think you need an ordered events queue for this.

I think you can simply use zalloc() instead.

Please remove all the unnecessary debug messages.
And you don't need to wait for the target process to finish
in order to process samples. Actually it'd increase the
chance that the pipe is full during the execution.

I'm not sure if it's needed. The data->path is set and it'll be
checked in the below.
