 Several types are supported for fetch-args. Kprobe tracer will access memory
 by given type. Prefix 's' and 'u' means those types are signed and unsigned
 respectively. Traced arguments are shown in decimal (signed) or hex (unsigned).
-String type is a special type, which fetches a "null-terminated" string from
-kernel space. This means it will fail and store NULL if the string container

+"string" is a special type which fetches a null-terminated string from kernel
+space. This means it will fail and store NULL if the string container has been

 Bitfield is another special type, which takes 3 parameters, bit-width, bit-
 offset, and container-size (usually 32). The syntax is;
