Bug Description
Hi.
FIrst, I hope you are fine and the same for your relatives.
The actual kernel used on AKS arm64 (i.e. 5.4.1089) suffers from this problem:
https:/
As a consequence, opensnoop does not display PATH:
# Run the following from Canonical:
$ uname -a
Linux francis-
$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 18.04.6 LTS
Release: 18.04
$ git clone --recurse-
Linux francis-
$ sudo sh -c 'apt update && apt install -qy clang-10 llvm-10 make gcc pkg-config libelf-dev libz-dev'
...
$ cd bcc/libbpf-tools
$ CLANG=clang-10 LLVM_STRIP=
...
BINARY opensnoop
$ sudo ./opensnoop
PID COMM FD ERR PATH

^C
As you can see, nothing is printed for the PATH while normal behavior prints the path of the opened file:
$ uname -a
Linux pwmachine 5.15.0-46-generic #49~20.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Thu Aug 4 19:15:44 UTC 2022 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
$ sudo ./opensnoop

2704 systemd 22 0 /proc/2704/status
2704 systemd 22 0 /proc/2704/status
^C
This bug was fixed in upstream patch:
https:/
Sadly, this patch was not back ported, so it is not present in stable kernels.
I backported the patches myself (see attachment) and was able to build the kernel package with the following command:
sudo LANG=C $(dpkg-architecture -aarm64) CROSS_COMPILE=
Sadly, I was not able to successfully boot it on Azure, either by installing the package or using kexec.
I suspect this is because my image is not signed.
Best regards and thank you in advance.
