This can be the case if referenced variables are added\nfor trigger actions. In this case the newly added references will not\nhave field variables. Not taking such referenced variables into\nconsideration can result in a bug where it would be possible to remove\nhist trigger with variables being refenced. This will result in a bug\nthat is easily reproducable like so\n\n$ cd /sys/kernel/tracing\n$ echo 'synthetic_sys_enter char[] comm; long id' >> synthetic_events\n$ echo
