From e09c8614b32915c16f68e039ac7040e602d73e35 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Masami Hiramatsu Date: Mon, 5 Jul 2010 15:54:45 -0300 Subject: tracing/kprobes: Support "string" type Support string type tracing and printing in kprobe-tracer. This allows user to trace string data in kernel including __user data. Note that sometimes __user data may not be accessed if it is paged-out (sorry, but kprobes operation should be done in atomic, we can not wait for page-in).
