[PATCH RESEND 1/4] tools lib traceevent: Check string is really printable

[Namhyung Kim]

From: Namhyung Kim <namhyung.kim@xxxxxxx>

When libtraceevent parses format fields, it assumes that
array of 1 byte is string but it's not always true. The
kvm_emulate_insn contains 15 u8 array of insn that contains
(binary) instructions. Thus when it's printed, it'll have
broken output like below:

  kvm_emulate_insn:     [FAILED TO PARSE] rip=3238197797 csbase=0 len=2 \
  insn=<89>P^]<B4>& flags=5 failed=0

With this patch:

  kvm_emulate_insn:     [FAILED TO PARSE] rip=3238197797 csbase=0 len=2 \
  insn=ARRAY[89, 10, 5d, c3, 8d, b4, 26, 00, 00, 00, 00, 55, 89, e5, 3e] flags=5 failed=0
