Similar to '%pd' for printk, use '%pd' for print struct dentry's name.

Hmm, no, I don't like to expand stack anymore. Please allocate it
from heap.

Do I need to change the other buffers on the stacks to allocate memory 
from heap?

And calling this here will not cover the trace_fprobe.

Could you call this from traceprobe_expand_meta_args() instead of
calling it directly from trace_kprobe? Then it can be used from
fprobe_event too.

Thank you,

At first I wanted to implement the extension logic in 
traceprobe_expand_meta_args(),
but I found that the code was difficult to understand when I started 
writing. If fprobe_event
wants to support this function, is traceprobe_expand_dentry_args() also 
called? Or re-encapsulate
an interface to include the logic of different extensions. In this way, 
the same buffer is used for
the entire extension process, and the extension function needs to return 
the information about
the length of the buffer.

Why do you think

I determined this value according to the extreme case that a parameter 
is expanded to occupy
64 bytes, and a maximum of four such large parameters are supported.
