Subject: [PATCH 5.4 026/309] tracing/kprobes: Have uname use __get_str() in print_fmt

From: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@...dmis.org>

commit 20279420ae3a8ef4c5d9fedc360a2c37a1dbdf1b upstream.

Thomas Richter reported:

> Test case 66 'Use vfs_getname probe to get syscall args filenames'
> is broken on s390, but works on x86. The test case fails with:

>   [root@...lp76 perf]#

The root cause was the print_fmt of the kprobe event that referenced the
"ustring"

> Setting up the kprobe event using perf command:
>
>  # ./perf probe "vfs_getname=getname_flags:72 pathname=filename:ustring"
>
> generates this format file:
>   [root@...lp76 perf]# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/probe/\

>   name: vfs_getname

>   format:

>     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;

Instead of using "__get_str(pathname)" it referenced it directly.
