Indeed. Sven, you can check the PROBE_EVENTS_BTF_ARGS as
an example.

config PROBE_EVENTS_BTF_ARGS
        depends on HAVE_FUNCTION_ARG_ACCESS_API
        depends on FPROBE_EVENTS || KPROBE_EVENTS
        depends on DEBUG_INFO_BTF && BPF_SYSCALL
        bool "Support BTF function arguments for probe events"

Thank you,
