Sorry for the late reply. Borislav pinged me to look at this.

My only concern here is that you are using sizeof(uuid_le) into an
array that is hardcoded as 16 bytes. I don't expect the size of uuid_le
to ever change, but if it does, you just created an exploit.

I would suggest having a macro about the size of uuid_le and use both
here and include/uapi/linux/uuid.h.

#define UUID_SIZE

typedef struct {
__u8 b[UUID_SIZE];
} uuid_le;

And then we can just use UUID_SIZE safely here:

__array(char, sec_type, UUID_SIZE)

[...]

memcpy(__entry->sec_type, sec_type, UUID_SIZE));

Alternatively we could add in the C file that defines the tracepoints:

BUILD_BUG(sizeof(uuid_le) > 16);

But that's hacky.

Hmm, I wonder if %pU is defined in the libtraceevent library?
