From: "Steven Rostedt (Google)" <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx>
Currently when an event probe (eprobe) hooks to a string field, it does
not display it as a string, but instead as a number. This makes the field
rather useless. Handle the different kinds of strings, dynamic, static,
relational/dynamic etc.
Now when a string field is used, the ":string" type can be used to display
it:
echo "e:sw sched/sched_switch comm=$next_comm:string" > dynamic_events
