[PATCH v6 4/6] tracing: Add helper functions to simplify event_command.parse() callback handling

[Tom Zanussi]

The event_command.parse() callback is responsible for parsing and
registering triggers.  The existing command implementions for this
callback duplicate a lot of the same code, so to clean up and
consolidate those implementations, introduce a handful of helper
functions for implementors to use.

This also makes it easier for new commands to be implemented and
allows them to focus more on the customizations they provide rather
than obscuring and complicating it with boilerplate code.

+ * Event trigger parsing helper functions.
+ *
+ * These functions help make it easier to write an event trigger
+ * parsing function i.e. the struct event_command.parse() callback
+ * function responsible for parsing and registering a trigger command
+ * written to the 'trigger' file.
+ *
+ * A trigger command (or just 'trigger' for short) takes the form:
+ *   [trigger] [if filter]
+ *
+ * The struct event_command.parse() callback (and other struct
+ * event_command functions) refer to several components of a trigger
+ * command.  Those same components are referenced by the event trigger
+ * parsing helper functions defined below.  These components are:
+ *
+ *   cmd               - the trigger command name
+ *   glob              - the trigger command name optionally prefaced with '!'
+ *   param_and_filter  - text following cmd and ':'
+ *   param             - text following cmd and ':' and stripped of filter
+ *   filter            - the optional filter text following (and including) 'if'
+ *
+ * To illustrate the use of these componenents, here are some concrete
+ * examples. For the following triggers:
+ *
+ *   echo 'traceon:5 if pid == 0' > trigger
+ *     - 'traceon' is both cmd and glob
+ *     - '5 if pid == 0' is the param_and_filter
+ *     - '5' is the param
+ *     - 'if pid == 0' is the filter
+ *
+ *   echo 'enable_event:sys:event:n' > trigger
+ *     - 'enable_event' is both cmd and glob
+ *     - 'sys:event:n' is the param_and_filter
+ *     - 'sys:event:n' is the param
+ *     - there is no filter
+ *
+ *   echo 'hist:keys=pid if prio > 50' > trigger
+ *     - 'hist' is both cmd and glob
+ *     - 'keys=pid if prio > 50' is the param_and_filter
+ *     - 'keys=pid' is the param
+ *     - 'if prio > 50' is the filter
+ *
+ *   echo '!enable_event:sys:event:n' > trigger
+ *     - 'enable_event' the cmd
+ *     - '!enable_event' is the glob
+ *     - 'sys:event:n' is the param_and_filter
+ *     - 'sys:event:n' is the param
+ *     - there is no filter
+ *
+ *   echo 'traceoff' > trigger
+ *     - 'traceoff' is both cmd and glob
+ *     - there is no param_and_filter
+ *     - there is no param
+ *     - there is no filter
+ *
+ * There are a few different categories of event trigger covered by
+ * these helpers:
+ *
+ *  - triggers that don't require a parameter e.g. traceon
+ *  - triggers that do require a parameter e.g. enable_event and hist
+ *  - triggers that though they may not require a param may support an
+ *    optional 'n' param (n = number of times the trigger should fire)
+ *    e.g.: traceon:5 or enable_event:sys:event:n
+ *  - triggers that do not support an 'n' param e.g. hist
+ *
+ * These functions can be used or ignored as necessary - it all
+ * depends on the complexity of the trigger, and the granularity of
+ * the functions supported reflects the fact that some implementations
+ * may need to customize certain aspects of their implementations and
+ * won't need certain functions.  For instance, the hist trigger
+ * implementation doesn't use event_trigger_separate_filter() because
+ * it has special requirements for handling the filter.
