Support string type casting to event argument. If perf-probe finds an argument
casted as string, it ensures the target variable is "(unsigned/signed) char
*(or []). perf-probe also adds dereference if the target is a pointer.

So, both of 'char buf[10];' and 'char *buf;' can be accessed by 'buf:string'

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).

Commiter note: Fixed up conflicts with b7e2ecef.

make version 3.80 doesn't support "else ifdef" on the same line, also it
doesn't support unindented nested constructs.

Build fails with:
Makefile:608: Extraneous text after `else' directive
Makefile:611: *** only one `else' per conditional.  Stop.

This patch fixes the build for make 3.80.

Fix resume_execution() and is_IF_modifier() to skip x86
instruction prefixes correctly by using x86 instruction
attribute.

Without this fix, resume_execution() can't handle instructions
which have non-REX prefixes (REX prefixes are skipped). This
will cause unexpected kernel panic by hitting bad address when a
kprobe hits on two-byte ret (e.g. "repz ret" generated for
Athlon/K8 optimization), because it just checks "repz" and can't
recognize the "ret" instruction.

These prefixes can be found easily with x86 instruction
attribute. This patch introduces skip_prefixes() and uses it in
resume_execution() and is_IF_modifier() to skip prefixes.

Because kprobes and syscalls need special processing to register
events, the class->reg() method was created to handle the differences.

But instead of creating a default ->reg for perf and ftrace events,
the code was scattered with:

	if (class->reg)
		class->reg();
	else
		default_reg();

This is messy and can also lead to bugs.

This patch cleans up this code and creates a default reg() entry for
the events allowing for the code to directly call the class->reg()
without the condition.

The nsecs_str string is a local variable defined as:

char nsecs_str[5];

It is possible for the snprintf call to use a size value larger than the
size of the string. This should not cause a buffer overrun as it is
written now due to the value for the string format "%03lu" can not be
larger than 1000. However, this change makes it correct. By making the
size correct we guard against potential future changes that could actually
cause a buffer overrun.
