Add a string type checking with BTF information if possible. This will check whether the given BTF argument (and field) is signed char array or pointer to signed char. If not, it reject the 'string' type. If it is pointer to signed char, it adds a dereference opration so that it can correctly fetch the string data from memory. # echo 'f getname_flags%return retval->name:string' >> dynamic_events # echo 't sched_switch next->comm:string' >> dynamic_events The above cases, 'struct filename::name' is 'char *' and 'struct task_struct::comm' is 'char []'. But in both case, user can specify ':string' to fetch the string data.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
