[root@f14kvm tracing]#  cat uprobe_events 
[root@f14kvm tracing]# echo 'p /bin/zsh:0x46420 %ip %ax' > uprobe_events 
[root@f14kvm tracing]#  cat uprobe_events 
p:uprobes/p_zsh_0x46420 /bin/zsh:0x00046420 arg1=%ip arg2=%ax
[root@f14kvm tracing]#  cat events/uprobes/p_zsh_0x46420/format 
name: p_zsh_0x46420
ID: 922
format:
        field:unsigned short common_type;       offset:0;       size:2; signed:0;
        field:unsigned char common_flags;       offset:2;       size:1; signed:0;
        field:unsigned char common_preempt_count;       offset:3;       size:1; signed:0;
        field:int common_pid;   offset:4;       size:4; signed:1;
        field:int common_padding;       offset:8;       size:4; signed:1;

        field:unsigned long __probe_ip; offset:12;      size:4; signed:0;
        field:u32 arg1; offset:16;      size:4; signed:0;
        field:u32 arg2; offset:20;      size:4; signed:0;

print fmt: "(%lx) arg1=%lx arg2=%lx", REC->__probe_ip, REC->arg1, REC->arg2
[root@f14kvm tracing]# 

Will update the Documentation file  with correct output of "cat
uprobe_events". Do you want the format file to be added to the
Documentation?
