It simply prints the hex value. See trace_output.c:

const char *
ftrace_print_symbols_seq(struct trace_seq *p, unsigned long val,
			 const struct trace_print_flags *symbol_array)
{
	int i;
	const char *ret = p->buffer + p->len;

	for (i = 0;  symbol_array[i].name; i++) {

		if (val != symbol_array[i].mask)
			continue;

		trace_seq_puts(p, symbol_array[i].name);
		break;
	}

	if (ret == (const char *)(p->buffer + p->len))
		trace_seq_printf(p, "0x%lx", val);
		
	trace_seq_putc(p, 0);

	return ret;
}
