For a little better code, what about passing in t and r directly, and then
having the TP_fast_assign just do the dereferencing there?

__entry->pid = t->pid;
__entry->vm_start = r->vm_start;
__entry->vm_end = r->vm_end;
__entry->nr_accesses = r->nr_accesses;

It will produce better code at the trace point call (which is the important
part) and make the trace event a bit more flexible in the future, without
having to modify the call site.
