    tracing/eprobes: Do not hardcode $comm as a string · 02333de9
    Steven Rostedt (Google) authored
    The variable $comm is hard coded as a string, which is true for both
    kprobes and uprobes, but for event probes (eprobes) it is a field name. In
    most cases the "comm" field would be a string, but there's no guarantee of
    that fact.
    
    Do not assume that comm is a string. Not to mention, it currently forces
    comm fields to fault, as string processing for event probes is currently
    broken.
