[ Upstream commit b26a124cbfa80f42bfc4e63e1d5643ca98159d66 ] Add 'symstr' type for storing the kernel symbol as a string data instead of the symbol address. This allows us to filter the events by wildcard symbol name. e.g. # echo 'e:wqfunc workqueue.workqueue_execute_start symname=$function:symstr' >> dynamic_events # cat events/eprobes/wqfunc/format name: wqfunc ID: 2110 format: field:unsigned short common_type; offset:0; size:2; signed:0; field:unsigned char common_flags; offset:2; size:1; signed:0; field:unsigned char common_preempt_count; offset:3; size:1; signed:0; field:int common_pid; offset:4; size:4; signed:1; field:__data_loc char[] symname; offset:8; size:4; signed:1; print fmt: " symname=\"%s\"", __get_str(symname) Note that there is already 'symbol' type which just change the print format (so it still stores the symbol address in the tracing ring buffer.) On the other hand, 'symstr' type stores the actual "symbol+offset/size" data as a string.
