Roland helped me figure out that .note.stapsdt gets:
.asciz "ptr_char_var"
.asciz "4@124(%esp) 4@%eax"

> printf("%p %p\n", $arg1, $arg2)

The translator does:
$arg1: user_int((%{ /* unprivileged */ /* pure */u_fetch_register(4) %}) +
(124))
$arg2: %{ /* unprivileged */ /* pure */u_fetch_register(0) %}

So the trip through user_int() extends the sign.  We could add user_uint(), if
there's enough info for the SDT-translator to know it should be unsigned.  I
think that's indicated by "4@..." instead of "-4@..."?
