Tom Zanussi 63a1e5de30 tracing: Save normal string variables
String variables created as field variables and save variables are
already handled properly by having their values copied when set.  The
same isn't done for normal variables, but needs to be - simply saving
a pointer to a string contained in an old event isn't sufficient,
since that event's data may quickly become overwritten and therefore a
string pointer to it could yield garbage.

This change uses the same mechanism as field variables and simply
appends the new strings to the existing per-element field_var_str[]
array allocated for that purpose.

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 Restructured Text 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.
