--- Comment #3 from Mark Johnston <markj@FreeBSD.org> ---
DTrace allows the function component of a probe to be up to DTRACE_FUNCNAME=
LEN
- 1 =3D=3D 127 bytes in length and rejects DOF sections containing function=
s longer
than that.

DTRACE_FUNCNAMELEN is embedded into a few structs, so fixing this is
non-trivial. Doubling it would waste at least 128 bytes per probe, of which
there are typically tens of thousands, and still only pushes the problem ou=
t.
It's silly that DTrace imposes this limit at all. Constraints on provider a=
nd
probe name lengths make sense, and the module component is generally a
filename, so a limit is reasonable. But the function component is just a sy=
mbol
name, and ELF doesn't impose a limit here AFAIK.

I'll try to remove the limit.
