    tracing/eprobes: Have event probes be consistent with kprobes and uprobes · 6a832ec3
    Steven Rostedt (Google) authored
    Currently, if a symbol "@" is attempted to be used with an event probe
    (eprobes), it will cause a NULL pointer dereference crash.
    
    Both kprobes and uprobes can reference data other than the main registers.
    Such as immediate address, symbols and the current task name. Have eprobes
    do the same thing.
    
    For "comm", if "comm" is used and the event being attached to does not
    have the "comm" field, then make it the "$comm" that kprobes has. This is
    consistent to the way histograms and filters work.
