v1 -> v2: Factor out read_size_val(), split out the error handling
          change (Steven).

Hi,

While running trace-cmd on s390x, I ran into a few issues.
This is the fix for the first one: trace-cmd report prints nothing.

The second one is a kernel issue [1], which causes trace-cmd to print
a lot of bogus space characters.

The final one is "error in size of file '/proc/kallsyms'" caused by
delayed removal of a BPF program from /proc/kallsyms. I plan to fix it
by reading the contents of /proc/kallsyms into a temporary file before
writing it into the trace file.

Best regards,
Ilya
