perf trace: Support tracepoint dynamic char arrays

Browse source

Things like:

  # grep __data_loc /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_process_exec/format
	field:__data_loc char[] filename;	offset:8;	size:4;	signed:1;
  #

That, at that offset (8) and with that size(8) have an integer that
contains the real length and offset for the contents of that array.

Now this works:

  # perf trace --max-events 1 -e sched:*exec -a
     0.000 sed/19441 sched:sched_process_exec(filename: "/usr/bin/sync", pid: 19441 (sync), old_pid: 19441 (sync))
  #

As when using the libtraceevent based beautifier:

  # perf trace --libtraceevent --max-events 1 -e sched:*exec -a
     0.000 sync/19463 sched:sched_process_exec(filename=/usr/bin/sync pid=19463 old_pid=19463)
  #

I.e. that 'filename' is implemented as a dynamic char array.
