Subject: tracing: Reject string operand in the histogram expression
From: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit a9d10ca4986571bffc19778742d508cc8dd13e02 upstream.
Since the string type can not be the target of the addition / subtraction
operation, it must be rejected. Without this fix, the string type silently
converted to digits.
