    tracing/kprobes: Support "string" type · e09c8614

    Support string type tracing and printing in kprobe-tracer.
    
    This allows user to trace string data in kernel including __user data. Note
    that sometimes __user data may not be accessed if it is paged-out (sorry, but
    kprobes operation should be done in atomic, we can not wait for page-in).
