Ah, OK. This patch actually includes two parts.

One is introducing TRACE_FIELD_ZERO which is more generic than
TRACE_FIELD_ZERO_CHAR, I think.

Another is a typo fix of TRACE_ZERO_CHAR.

No, I assume that TRACE_ZERO_CHAR is just a typo of TRACE_FIELD_ZERO_CHAR.
(because I couldn't find any other TRACE_ZERO_CHAR)

BTW, this patch may not be needed after applying patch 10/12, since
it removes ftrace event definitions of TRACE_KPROBE/KRETPROBE.

Perhaps, would I better merge and split those additional patches(and
remove this change)?
(It also could make the incremental review hard...)

Thank you,
