Currently hist trigger expressions don't support the use of numeric
literals:
e.g. echo 'hist:keys=common_pid:x=$y-1234'
--> is not valid expression syntax
Having the ability to use numeric constants in hist triggers supports
a wider range of expressions for creating variables.
Add support for creating trace event histogram variables from numeric
literals.
e.g. echo 'hist:keys=common_pid:x=1234,y=size-1024' >> event/trigger
A negative numeric constant is created, using unary minus operator
(parentheses are required).
e.g. echo 'hist:keys=common_pid:z=-(2)' >> event/trigger
Constants can be used with division/multiplication (added in the
next patch in this series) to implement granularity filters for frequent
trace events. For instance we can limit emitting the rss_stat
trace event to when there is a 512KB cross over in the rss size:
# Create a synthetic event to monitor instead of the high frequency
# rss_stat event
echo 'rss_stat_throttled unsigned int mm_id; unsigned int curr;
int member; long size' >> tracing/synthetic_events
# Create a hist trigger that emits the synthetic rss_stat_throttled
# event only when the rss size crosses a 512KB boundary.
echo 'hist:keys=keys=mm_id,member:bucket=size/0x80000:onchange($bucket)
.rss_stat_throttled(mm_id,curr,member,size)'
>> events/kmem/rss_stat/trigger
A use case for using constants with addition/subtraction is not yet
known, but for completeness the use of constants are supported for all
operators.
