[PATCH perf 1/2] perf: trace-event-parse: support additional operators: '!', '~', and '!='

[David Sharp]

Add support for the unary operators '!' and '~', and support '!=' so that
it is differentiated from '!'.

Re: [PATCH perf 0/2] perf: trace-event-parse: support more operators and print formats

[David Sharp]

Hi, any feedback on these patches? I think it's important that perf
and trace-cmd don't drift in the syntax they accept.

So we now have trace events that use these new operations? Which ones?
A quick grep on "TP_printk" and "!" doesn't give me any result, probably
because TP_printk is often multiline.

We (google) have some events that use '~' and '!', and I threw in '!='
mostly because it needed to be differentiated from '!' during
tokenizing.

We set the MSB of the syscall number in raw_syscalls events to
indicate a compat syscall, and use '~' and '!' (and '&' and '>>') to
extract the bit. eg, for sys_exit:
print fmt: "NR %ld = %ld isCompat: %d", REC->id & (~0UL>>1), REC->ret,
!!(REC->id & ~(~0UL>>1))
Patches for this will be forthcoming, but, you know: time.

If our internally-added events are not sufficient reason, I think it
still makes sense to support as much of the C expression syntax as
reasonable. Leaving holes in the syntax mostly just causes frustration
when these operators would be useful. And since they do work with the
in-kernel output (which has the whole compiler to leverage), use of
unsupported operators can go unnoticed for quite a while.

Thanks,
d#

Please consider the compat syscall tracing patches from Jason Baron
and Ian Munsie:

http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/6/23/69

They were pretty clean IIRC. Someone just need to rebase them, clean
up some last things and repost.

Hmm, ok.
