Add immediate string parameter (\"string") support to probe events. This allows you to specify an immediate (or dummy) parameter instead of fetching a string from memory. This feature looks odd, but imagine that you put a probe on a code to trace some string data. If the code is compiled into 2 instructions and 1 instruction has a string on memory but other has no string since it is optimized out. In that case, you can not fold those into one event, even if ftrace supported multiple probes on one event. With this feature, you can set a dummy string like foo=\"(optimized)":string instead of something like foo=+0(+0(%bp)):string.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
