Yes, defining MAX_EVENT_NAME_LEN ensures event names are truncated via snprintf
to prevent exceeding the maximum length limit.
Moving the unique id before kfunc_name avoids truncating the id.
Regarding the changelog: Should this information go into the commit message of the patch, or somewhere else?

The gen_uprobe_legacy_event_name function includes an extra basename compared to gen_kprobe_legacy_event_name,
as the prefixes of binary_path are often too similar to distinguish easily.
When merging these two into a single function, is it acceptable to pass basename((void *)binary_path)
directly during the uprobe invocation, or should we remove the addition of basename? Thank you!
