perf tools: Add strfilter for general purpose string filter
Add strfilter for general purpose string filter. Every filter rules are descrived by glob matching pattern and '!' prefix which means Logical NOT. A strfilter consists of those filter rules connected with '&' and '|'. A set of rules can be folded by using '(' and ')'. It also accepts spaces around rules and those operators. Format: <rule> ::= <glob-exp> | "!" <rule> | <rule> <op> <rule> | "(" <rule> ")" <op> ::= "&" | "|" e.g.: "(add* | del*) & *timer" filter rules pass strings which start with add or del and end with timer. This will be used by perf probe --filter. Changes in V2: - Fix to check result of strdup() and strfilter__alloc(). - Encapsulate and simplify interfaces as like regex(3).
