From cb2c52b7503f45346d3c39fd867d75ec71499281 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Steven Rostedt (VMware)" Date: Tue, 30 Nov 2021 12:31:23 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] tracing/histograms: String compares should not care about signed values When comparing two strings for the "onmatch" histogram trigger, fields that are strings use string comparisons, which do not care about being signed or not. Do not fail to match two string fields if one is unsigned char array and the other is a signed char array.
