The location is printed as pointer (which might even be randomized?),
is it possible to print the function name of the caller, as described
here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4141324/function-caller-in-linux-kernel

  printk("Caller is %pS\n", __builtin_return_address(0));

Not sure if this is possible with the trace points, but it would be
easier to use. You plan to use a dump to find out about the function caller?
