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;
}
