[PATCH v14 22/22] tracing: Add hist trigger 'log2' modifier

[Tom Zanussi]

From: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@xxxxxxxxxx>

Allow users to have numeric fields displayed as log2 values in case
value range is very wide by appending '.log2' to field names.

For example,

  # echo 'hist:key=bytes_req' > kmalloc/trigger
  # cat kmalloc/hist

  { bytes_req:        504 } hitcount:          1
  { bytes_req:         11 } hitcount:          1
  { bytes_req:        104 } hitcount:          1
  { bytes_req:         48 } hitcount:          1
  { bytes_req:       2048 } hitcount:          1
  { bytes_req:       4096 } hitcount:          1
  { bytes_req:        240 } hitcount:          1
  { bytes_req:        392 } hitcount:          1
  { bytes_req:         13 } hitcount:          1
  { bytes_req:         28 } hitcount:          1
  { bytes_req:         12 } hitcount:          1
  { bytes_req:         64 } hitcount:          2
  { bytes_req:        128 } hitcount:          2
  { bytes_req:         32 } hitcount:          2
  { bytes_req:          8 } hitcount:         11
  { bytes_req:         10 } hitcount:         13
  { bytes_req:         24 } hitcount:         25
  { bytes_req:        160 } hitcount:         29
  { bytes_req:         16 } hitcount:         33
  { bytes_req:         80 } hitcount:         36

When using '.log2' modifier, the output looks like:

  # echo 'hist:key=bytes_req.log2' > kmalloc/trigger
  # cat kmalloc/hist

  { bytes_req: ~ 2^12 } hitcount:          1
  { bytes_req: ~ 2^11 } hitcount:          1
  { bytes_req: ~ 2^9  } hitcount:          2
  { bytes_req: ~ 2^6  } hitcount:          3
  { bytes_req: ~ 2^3  } hitcount:         13
  { bytes_req: ~ 2^5  } hitcount:         19
  { bytes_req: ~ 2^8  } hitcount:         49
  { bytes_req: ~ 2^7  } hitcount:         57
  { bytes_req: ~ 2^4  } hitcount:         74
