When specify the location of libreadline.so library:

The TIME, PID and COMMAND all show nothing, as shown in the following figure.

But when running the script on x86_64 Linux, of course, the same version of the package tags v0.20.0, it can run successfully.
Is there any difference between running bcc tools on aarch64 and x86_64?

Research direction

Start with the bashreadline tool and reproduce the report on aarch64 Linux, both with the default library lookup and with /lib64/libreadline.so. Compare the behavior with x86_64 Linux and verify that TIME, PID, and COMMAND are populated when the issue is fixed.
