High order memory stuff within trace could introduce OOM, use kvmalloc instead.
traced_probes invoked oom-killer:
gfp_mask=0x140c0c0(GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_COMP|__GFP_ZERO), nodemask=(null),
order=2, oom_score_adj=-1
traced_probes cpuset=system-background mems_allowed=0
CPU: 3 PID: 588 Comm: traced_probes Tainted: G W O 4.14.181 #1
Hardware name: Generic DT based system
