Subject: [PATCH 4.19 285/287] tracing/probes: Have kprobes and uprobes use $COMM too

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

commit ab8384442ee512fc0fc72deeb036110843d0e7ff upstream.

Both $comm and $COMM can be used to get current->comm in eprobes and the
filtering and histogram logic. Make kprobes and uprobes consistent in this
regard and allow both $comm and $COMM as well. Currently kprobes and
uprobes only handle $comm, which is inconsistent with the other utilities,
and can be confusing to users.
