From: Steven Rostedt rostedt@goodmis.org
The process_pointer() helper function looks to see if various trace event macros are used. These macros are for storing data in the event. This makes it safe to dereference as the dereference will then point into the event on the ring buffer where the content of the data stays with the event itself.
A few helper functions were missing. Those were:
__get_rel_dynamic_array() __get_dynamic_array_len() __get_rel_dynamic_array_len() __get_rel_sockaddr()
Also add a helper function find_print_string() to not need to use a middle man variable to test if the string exists.
