From: Steven Rostedt <[email protected]> When the "fields" option is enabled, it prints each trace event field based on its type. But a dynamic array and a dynamic string can both have a "char *" type. Printing it as a string can cause escape characters to be printed and mess up the output of the trace.
For dynamic strings, test if there are any non-printable characters, and if so, print both the string with the non printable characters as '.', and the print the hex value of the array.
