Hi,

Respinning with a few changes:

- Added patches 1 and 3 (document "string_size" type and make "string"
default for $comm)
- Also support uprobe events
- Only allow "string" and "string_size" types

Patch 2, which actually introduces $comm, is pretty simple. Patch 3 is
more intrusive, but without it, the default type for $comm is invalid,
which is stupid.

This series applies to v4.7-rc1.

Thanks!

tracing: expose current->comm to [ku]probe events
tracing: make "string" the default type for [ku]probe event $comm
