  Since the sched_switch tracepoint introduces a new variable to
report sched-out task state in symbolic char, we prefer to use
it to spare from knowing internal implementations in kernel.

Also we keep the old parsing logic intact but sync the state char
array with the latest kernel.

The above needs to be rewritten to be more comprehensive.

Feel free to reply to this thread with new versions of the change log and
such. No need to send a new patch series to fix this before you know that
the new version is acceptable or not.

Replying to a current patch series is fine, but sending out a new one
causes the spam as it's much easier to ignore a thread than to ignore a new
thread with a new series.

Thanks,

-- Steve

Copy that! Thank you.
