From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 3f41b77843b338e836f52cc2d486be689d6cb9c1 ] This will go from a string to a number, so that filter expressions can be constructed with strings and then, before applying the tracepoint filters (or eBPF, in the future) we can map those strings to numbers. The first one will be for 'msr' tracepoint arguments, but real quickly we will be able to reuse all strarrays for that.
