tracing/kprobes: Support basic types on dynamic events
Support basic types of integer (u8, u16, u32, u64, s8, s16, s32, s64) in kprobe tracer. With this patch, users can specify above basic types on each arguments after ':'. If omitted, the argument type is set as unsigned long (u32 or u64, arch-dependent). e.g. echo 'p account_system_time+0 hardirq_offset=%si:s32' > kprobe_events adds a probe recording hardirq_offset in signed-32bits value on the entry of account_system_time.
