EC is the bits [31:26] of ESR_ELx on arm64 (HSR on arm). Print the
hex value with its exact width (8).

Although you're right that 8 bits ought to be enough, this is a change
to the output of the tracepoint, which userspace could (does?) parse.

Well-written userspace tools should only parse the low 8 bits (if they
do parse). But even if the high bits are parsed, they're always 0.
So I don't think this change will have a bad impact on userspace.

I'm thus reluctant to change anything there, knowing that we don't
lose any information, and just print two extra zeroes.

Anyway this is not a fix, feel free to ignore it if you're worried about
that there might be some issues ;)

Am I missing anything?

No.


Thanks,
zenghui
