When the binary path is excessively long, the generated probe_name in libbpf
exceeds the kernel's MAX_EVENT_NAME_LEN limit (64 bytes).
This causes legacy uprobe event attachment to fail with error code -22.
Before Fix:

so the fix is to move unique id before kfunc_name to make sure it gets
to the event name right? would be great to have it in changelog

gen_kprobe_legacy_event_name and gen_uprobe_legacy_event_name seem to
be identical now, maybe we can have just one ?

Yes, defining MAX_EVENT_NAME_LEN ensures event names are truncated via snprintf
to prevent exceeding the maximum length limit.
Moving the unique id before kfunc_name avoids truncating the id.
Regarding the changelog: Should this information go into the commit message of the patch, or somewhere else?

The gen_uprobe_legacy_event_name function includes an extra basename compared to gen_kprobe_legacy_event_name,
as the prefixes of binary_path are often too similar to distinguish easily.
When merging these two into a single function, is it acceptable to pass basename((void *)binary_path)
directly during the uprobe invocation, or should we remove the addition of basename? Thank you!

I think basename is fine, perhaps just pass it as argument
like below (on top of your change, untested)
