Good catch!
I didn't imagine that such a use case. But that is important because perf
probe can be used for cross-arch probe definition too.

OK, as far as I can see, the other parts of the perf also uses u64 for
"address" storing variables. (e.g. symbols, maps etc.)

I think you missed one thing here.
Usually, this shows the filename and line number of schedule().

Could you try below diff?
