I would also put the string at the end. Strings are stored as a dynamic
array in the event, where the position of __string() holds a 32 bit
number. The 16 MSBs is the length of the string and the 16 LSBs is the
offset into the trace event (after the TP_STRUCT__entry).

That means on a 64 bit machine, there's a chance that this struct will
have a 4 byte "hole" between the __string() meta data and the freq
field.
