[PATCH v8 18/37] tracing: Add simple expression support to hist triggers

From: Tom Zanussi
Date: Thu Dec 21 2017 - 11:04:24 EST


Add support for simple addition, subtraction, and unary expressions
(-(expr) and expr, where expr = b-a, a+b, a+b+c) to hist triggers, in
order to support a minimal set of useful inter-event calculations.

These operations are needed for calculating latencies between events
(timestamp1-timestamp0) and for combined latencies (latencies over 3
or more events).

In the process, factor out some common code from key and value
parsing.
