[PATCH 17/32] tools lib traceevent: Fix get_field_str() for dynamic strings

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Date: Wed Jan 17 2018 - 11:13:33 EST


From: "Steven Rostedt (VMware)" <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx>

If a field is a dynamic string, get_field_str() returned just the
offset/size value and not the string. Have it parse the offset/size
correctly to return the actual string. Otherwise filtering fails when
trying to filter fields that are dynamic strings.
