Subject: [PATCH v6] tracing/probe: add a char type to show the character value of traced arguments
There are scenes that we want to show the character value of traced
arguments other than a decimal or hexadecimal or string value for debug
convinience. I add a new type named 'char' to do it and a new test case
file named 'kprobe_args_char.tc' to do selftest for char type.
For example:
The to be traced function is 'void demo_func(char type, char *name);', we
can add a kprobe event as follows to show argument values as we want:
echo 'p:myprobe demo_func $arg1:char +0($arg2):char[5]' > kprobe_events
we will get the following trace log:
... myprobe: (demo_func+0x0/0x29) arg1='A' arg2={'b','p','f','1',''}

Note that the array can be applied to memory type fetchargs, you can not
apply it to registers/stack-entries etc. (for example, '$stack1:x8[8]' is
wrong, but '+8($stack):x8[8]' is OK.)
+Char type can be used to show the character value of traced arguments.
String type is a special type, which fetches a "null-terminated" string from
kernel space. This means it will fail and store NULL if the string container
has been paged out. "ustring" type is an alternative of string for user-space.
