bpf: Failed to load program: Invalid argument
Traceback (most recent call last):

Research direction
Start by running examples/hello_world.py and reproduce the failure shown in the traceback. Then inspect bcc/__init__.py around BPF.__init__, _trace_autoload, and load_func to follow the kprobe__sys_clone loading path. Done means the example loads the BPF program and reaches trace_print without the Invalid argument exception, with the relevant runtime context recorded.
