Trying to reproduce the page fault scenario for an openat() event. Note that the behavior of generating a page fault may be toolchain-specific (linker-specific):

Test program "do-pagefault-open":

#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <fcntl.h>

const char *str = "/tmp/blah";
const char *str2 = "/tmp/blah2";

int main() {
open(str, O_RDWR);
perror("first");
open(str2, O_RDWR);
perror("second");
return 0;
}

then trace with:

lttng-trace ./do-pagefault-open

Relevant events with babeltrace2 (grepping for 'openat'):

Notice how filename = "/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6" appears twice in the bt2 output, where we would expect the empty string (as provided by bt1).

Tested with babeltrace2 commit c429f86d0.
