I try to execute Dtrace like so: dtrace -n 'syscall::open*:entry { printf("%s %s", execname, copyinstr(arg0)); }' and get some strange errors: dtrace: error on enabled probe ID 2 (ID 76423: syscall:freebsd:open:entry): invalid address (0x8002543a3) in action #2 at DIF offset 12 like when stringof() were used instead of copyinstr(). FreeBSD version 12.0-RELEASE.

This might be a known regression fixed in r342053. Can you paste the first 20 lines of your dmesg here?
(In reply to Mark Johnston from comment #2) This is output of dmesg. By the way, sorry for sending PR twice, I had networking problem. ---<<BOOT>>--- Copyright (c) 1992-2018 The FreeBSD Project.

Your processor implements SMAP, so it is indeed affected. You can try applying this patch to your kernel to fix the problem: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/342267 I believe we will also release an errata notice and patch for 12.0, so you'll be able to use freebsd-update to fix the problem.
Thank you very much!
(In reply to Mark Johnston from comment #4) Update: the suggested patch seems to be working only partially. I can see strings passed from userspace, but there are also many errors like so: dtrace: error on enabled probe ID 1 (ID 77393: syscall:freebsd:openat:entry): invalid address (0xffffffffffffff9c) in action #2 at DIF offset 12 Seems like kernel space address, is it not? Also, it is always the same address (0xffffffffffffff9c).
(In reply to shamaz.mazum from comment #6) Yes, that is expected. Note that the new errors are coming from syscall::openat:entry rather than syscall::open:entry. The first argument to openat(2) is a file descriptor, not a string.
(In reply to Mark Johnston from comment #7) Oh, my bad. Thanks
The issue is fixed in 12.0-p3.
