Subject: [PATCH] tracing: Reject string operand in the histogram expression

Since the string type can not be the target of the addition / subtraction
operation, it must be rejected. Without this fix, the string type silently
converted to digits.

[PATCH 5.4.y] tracing: Reject string operand in the histogram expression

[Masami Hiramatsu]

commit a9d10ca4986571bffc19778742d508cc8dd13e02 upstream

Since the string type can not be the target of the addition / subtraction
operation, it must be rejected. Without this fix, the string type silently
converted to digits.
