[PATCH 30/35] perf probe: Use hexadecimal type by default if possible
From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Date: Tue Aug 23 2016 - 19:09:59 EST
From: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@xxxxxxxxxx>
Use hexadecimal type by default if it is available on current running
kernel.
This keeps the default behavior of perf probe after changing the output
format of 'u8/16/32/64' to unsigned decimal number.
