Linus Torvalds 3fdacf402b tracing: Fix the histogram logic from possibly crashing the kernel
Working on the histogram code, I found that if you dereference a char
 pointer in a trace event that happens to point to user space, it can crash
 the kernel, as it does no checks of that pointer. I have code coming that
 will do this better, so just remove this ability to treat character
 pointers in trace events as stings in the histogram.
