Subject[PATCH v2] tracing/probe: add a char type to print the character value of traced arguments
Date
There are scenes that we want to show the character value of traced
arguments other than a decimal or hexadecimal or string value for debug
convinience. Add a new type named 'char' to do it.

For example:

echo 'p:myprobe xxxx +0($arg1):char' > kprobe_events

echo 'p:myprobe xxxx +0($arg1):char[2]' > kprobe_events

Note that the array can be applied to memory type fetchargs, you can not
apply it to registers/stack-entries etc. (for example, '$stack1:x8[8]' is
wrong, but '+8($stack):x8[8]' is OK.)
+Char type can be used to show the character value of traced arguments.
String type is a special type, which fetches a "null-terminated" string from
kernel space. This means it will fail and store NULL if the string container
has been paged out. "ustring" type is an alternative of string for user-space.
