In fentry__x64_sys_write(), you just do trigger updates to maps, so for the
portability of the test
(e.g. run-able for arm64) and minimal dependency (e.g. don't depends on /tmp),
why do you
using nanosleep() and replacing fentry_x64_sys_write by
tp/syscalls/sys_enter_nanosleep instead.
Also it will be better if you can filter out other processes by pid.
