tracing: Add division and multiplication support for hist triggers
Adds basic support for division and multiplication operations for hist trigger variable expressions. For simplicity this patch only supports, division and multiplication for a single operation expression (e.g. x=$a/$b), as currently expressions are always evaluated right to left. This can lead to some incorrect results: e.g. echo 'hist:keys=common_pid:x=8-4-2' >> event/trigger 8-4-2 should evaluate to 2 i.e. (8-4)-2 but currently x evaluate to 6 i.e. 8-(4-2) Multiplication and division in sub-expressions will work correctly, once correct operator precedence support is added (See next patch in this series). For the undefined case of division by 0, the histogram expression evaluates to (u64)(-1). Since this cannot be detected when the expression is created, it is the responsibility of the user to be aware and account for this possibility. Examples: echo 'hist:keys=common_pid:a=8,b=4,x=$a/$b' \ >> event/trigger echo 'hist:keys=common_pid:y=5*$b' \ >> event/trigger Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20211025200852.3002369-3-kaleshsingh@google.comSigned-off-by: Kalesh Singh <kaleshsingh@google.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@goodmis.org>
