Hmm. I'm no longer seeing any problems with commit 24f5bb9f24ad
("tracing: Just use strcmp() for testing __string() and __assign_str()
match").

But that's clang 17.0.6.

The patch that Steven sent out (and that I applied) is a bit different
from his "I'll change it to this" email, though. A couple of casts and
parentheses different.

So maybe current -git works for you?
