[PATCH 2/2] libtracefs: Have end event variables not be the end event field name

[Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>]

From: "Steven Rostedt (VMware)" <rostedt@goodmis.org>

Currently we have:

 # sqlhist -n wakeup 'select end.next_pid, (end.TIMESTAMP - start.TIMESTAMP) as lat
   from sched_waking as start join sched_switch as end on start.pid = end.next_pid'

produces:

 echo 'wakeup s32 next_pid; u64 lat;' > /sys/kernel/tracing/synthetic_events
 echo 'hist:keys=pid:__arg_18871_1=common_timestamp' > /sys/kernel/tracing/events/sched/sched_waking/trigger
 echo 'hist:keys=next_pid:next_pid=next_pid,lat=common_timestamp-$__arg_18871_1:onmatch(sched.sched_waking).trace(wakeup,$next_pid,$lat)' > /sys/kernel/tracing/events/sched/sched_switch/trigger

The issue is that we have "next_pid=next_pid" where if we want to change
the above to use the "save" action:

 hist:keys=next_pid:next_pid=next_pid,lat=common_timestamp-$__arg_18871_1:onmax($lat).save(next_pid)

It fails with:

   hist:sched:sched_switch: error: Couldn't find field
    Command: hist:keys=next_pid:next_pid=next_pid,lat=common_timestamp-$__arg_18871_1:onmax($lat).save(next_pid)
                                                                       ^

But by having the end vars be unique, then the above "save" works.
