When the "fields" option is enabled, it prints each trace event field based on its type. But a dynamic array and a dynamic string can both have a "char *" type. Printing it as a string can cause escape characters to be printed and mess up the output of the trace. For dynamic strings, test if there are any non-printable characters, and if so, print both the string with the non printable characters as '.', and the print the hex value of the array.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
