Because the print_fmt has nothing to do with the fields. You can have
as your print_fmt as:

TP_printk("Message = %s", "hello dolly!")

And both userspace and the kernel with process that correctly (if I got
string processing working in userspace, which I believe I do). The
string is processed, it's not dependent on TP_STRUCT__entry() unless it
references a field there. Which can also be used too:

TP_printk("Message = %s", __entry->musical ? "Hello dolly!" :
"Death Trap!")

userspace will see in the entry:

print_fmt: "Message = %s", REC->musical ? "Hello dolly!" : "Death Trap!"

as long as the field "musical" exists, all is well.
