I've applied it on
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/frederic/random-tracing.git tracing/core

Since we have doubts on the strncmp -> strcmp conversion for static
string arrays. Do you think you could cut your strcmp patch in two parts:

1) fix strncmp use in __string() filters (which drops strncmp for dyn strings)
2) convert static string comparison to use strcmp()

So that I can integrate the fix from 1) and submit it to Ingo with
the fix for __str_loc format I just applied.

And then we can review 2) more carefully.

Thanks,
Frederic.
