    trace: Add %K and %U format specifiers (#742) · accd4cf5
    Sasha Goldshtein authored
    The %K and %U format specifiers can be used in a trace
    format string to resolve kernel and user symbols,
    respectively. For example, the pthread_create USDT probe
    has an argument pointing to the new thread's function.
    To trace pthread_create and print the symbolic name of
    the new thread's function, use:
    
    ```
    trace 'u:pthread:pthread_create "%U", arg3'
    ```
    
    The %U specifier resolves addresses in the event's process,
    while the %K specifier resolves kernel addresses.
