Actually I got this working, and looks like a reasonable answer to the
problem. It basically requires that the user specify that the pointer
points into user space for the kernel to read it.
Thus instead of:
echo 'filename ~ "trace"' > events/syscalls/sys_enter_openat/filter
They must now do:
echo 'filename.ustring ~ "trace"' > events/syscalls/sys_enter_openat/filter
I updated the documentation to reflect this.

Subject: [PATCH] tracing: Add ustring operation to filtering string pointers
Since referencing user space pointers is special, if the user wants to
filter on a field that is a pointer to user space, then they need to
specify it.
Add a ".ustring" attribute to the field name for filters to state that the
field is pointing to user space such that the kernel can take the
appropriate action to read that pointer.
