Hmm, that's really ugly though. Both versions.

I'm not familiar with the verifier, so I don't know how the above is
implemented, and why it would break a bunch of progs.
If you had a macro around the parameter:
TP_PROTO(struct task_struct *tsk, struct task_struct *__nullable(pi_task)),
Could having that go through another macro pass in trace_events.h work?
That is, could we associate the trace event with "nullable" parameters
that could be stored someplace else for you?
