The TP_fast_assign() is exactly how things are copied into the ring
buffer. If you have all the necessary data copied then, and don't
dereference it in TP_printk(), then you are fine.

IOW,

	TP_fast_assign( entry->id = ptr->id),
	TP_printk ("id: %lx", entry->id)

will work, but

	TP_fast_assign(entry->ptr = ptr),
	TP_printk("id: %lx", entry->ptr->id)

will not.
