If I understand correctly, the reason is due to
in libbpf we have
struct bpf_link_create_opts {
size_t sz; /* size of this struct for forward/backward
compatibility */
__u32 flags;
union bpf_iter_link_info *iter_info;
__u32 iter_info_len;
__u32 target_btf_id;
union {
struct {
__u64 bpf_cookie;
} perf_event;
struct {
__u32 flags;
__u32 cnt;
const char **syms;
const unsigned long *addrs;
const __u64 *cookies;
} kprobe_multi;
};
size_t :0;
};

Note that we have `const unsigned long *addrs;`

If we have 32-bit user space application and 64bit kernel,
and we will have userspace 32-bit pointers and kernel as
64bit pointers and current kernel doesn't handle 32-bit
user pointer properly.

Consider this may involve libbpf uapi change, maybe
we should change "const unsigned long *addrs;" to
"const __u64 *addrs;" considering we haven't freeze
libbpf UAPI yet.

Otherwise, we stick to current code with this patch,
it will make it difficult to support 32-bit app with
64-bit kernel for kprobe_multi in the future due to
uapi issues.

WDYT?
