This is also relevant because the current trace_printk() mechanism is
discouraged on 'production kernels' and will log a prominent notice to that
effect to dmesg.

--- Comment #2 from Serhei Makarov <me at serhei dot io> ---
As part of the reworking of printf() on stapbpf, large printf() invocations
should also be split up into a series of manageable ones. The following example
should work:

probe kernel.trace("netif_receive_skb"), kernel.trace("netif_rx"),
  kernel.trace("net_dev_queue"), kernel.trace("napi_gro_receive_entry") {
  printf("vars %s\n", $$vars);
}

Currently it fails with "too many arguments to print (19)".

--- Comment #3 from Serhei Makarov <me at serhei dot io> ---
Another reason to rework printf() -- the trace_printk() implementation
hardcodes any string operands to 64 bytes:

https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/6b2edf27fe26c73cd67b6bf5ffb23dce882e1455/kernel/trace/bpf_trace.c#L226

Prioritizing this PR on account of the 64-byte trace_printk() limitation.
