Subject: tools lib traceevent: Fix string handling in heterogeneous arch
environments
From: Kapileshwar Singh <[email protected]>
commit c2e4b24ff848bb180f9b9cd873a38327cd219ad2 upstream.
When a trace recorded on a 32-bit device is processed with a 64-bit
binary, the higher 32-bits of the address need to ignored.
The lack of this results in the output of the 64-bit pointer
value to the trace as the 32-bit address lookup fails in find_printk().
Before:
burn-1778 [003] 548.600305: bputs: 0xc0046db2s: 2cec5c058d98c
After:
burn-1778 [003] 548.600305: bputs: 0xc0046db2s: RT throttling activated
The problem occurs in PRINT_FIELD when the field is recognized as a
pointer to a string (of the type const char *)
Heterogeneous architectures cases below can arise and should be handled:
* Traces recorded using 32-bit addresses processed on a 64-bit machine
* Traces recorded using 64-bit addresses processed on a 32-bit machine
