The description is a bit hard to follow. Rephrasing a bit:

"Currently nettrace does not work on LoongArch due to missing
bpf_probe_read{,str}() support, with the error message:

ERROR: failed to load kprobe-based eBPF
ERROR: failed to load kprobe-based bpf

According to commit 0ebeea8ca8a4d ("bpf: Restrict bpf_probe_read{,
str}() only to archs where they work"), we only need to select
CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_NON_OVERLAPPING_ADDRESS_SPACE to add said support,
because LoongArch does have non-overlapping address ranges for kernel
and userspace."

Also, the patch subject does not make sense. Looking at precedents such
as commit 66633abd0642f ("MIPS/bpf: Enable bpf_probe_read{, str}() on
MIPS again") and commit d195b1d1d1196 ("powerpc/bpf: Enable
bpf_probe_read{, str}() on powerpc again"), we can instead re-title the
commit as "LoongArch/bpf: Enable bpf_probe_read{, str}() on LoongArch".
(No "again" because commit 0ebeea8ca8a4d actually predated the LoongArch
port.)

Please keep the list in alphabetical order by moving this one line above.
