Steven Rostedt e77ad6da90 tracing: Show printable characters in syscall arrays
When displaying the contents of the user space data passed to the kernel,
instead of just showing the array values, also print any printable
content.

Instead of just:

  bash-1113    [003] .....  3433.290654: sys_write(fd: 2, buf: 0x555a8deeddb0 (72:6f:6f:74:40:64:65:62:69:61:6e:2d:78:38:36:2d:36:34:3a:7e:23:20), count: 0x16)

Display:

  bash-1113    [003] .....  3433.290654: sys_write(fd: 2, buf: 0x555a8deeddb0 (72:6f:6f:74:40:64:65:62:69:61:6e:2d:78:38:36:2d:36:34:3a:7e:23:20) "root@debian-x86-64:~# ", count: 0x16)

This only affects tracing and does not affect perf, as this only updates
the output from the kernel. The output from perf is via user space. This
may change by an update to libtraceevent that will then update perf to
have this as well.

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.
