[PATCH 8/9] perf bpf filter: Add logical OR operator

From: Namhyung Kim
Date: Tue Mar 07 2023 - 18:34:30 EST


It supports two or more expressions connected as a group and the group
result is considered true when one of them returns true. The new group
operators (GROUP_BEGIN and GROUP_END) are added to setup and check the
condition. As it doesn't allow nested groups, the condition is saved
in local variables.

For example, the following is to get samples only if the data source
memory level is L2 cache or the weight value is greater than 30.

$ sudo ./perf record -adW -e cpu/mem-loads/pp \
> --filter 'mem_lvl == l2 || weight > 30' -- sleep 1

$ sudo ./perf script -F data_src,weight
10668100842 |OP LOAD|LVL L3 or L3 hit|SNP None|TLB L1 or L2 hit|LCK No|BLK N/A 47
11868100242 |OP LOAD|LVL LFB/MAB or LFB/MAB hit|SNP None|TLB L1 or L2 hit|LCK No|BLK N/A 57
10668100842 |OP LOAD|LVL L3 or L3 hit|SNP None|TLB L1 or L2 hit|LCK No|BLK N/A 56
10650100842 |OP LOAD|LVL L3 or L3 hit|SNP None|TLB L2 miss|LCK No|BLK N/A 144
10468100442 |OP LOAD|LVL L2 or L2 hit|SNP None|TLB L1 or L2 hit|LCK No|BLK N/A 16
10468100442 |OP LOAD|LVL L2 or L2 hit|SNP None|TLB L1 or L2 hit|LCK No|BLK N/A 20
11868100242 |OP LOAD|LVL LFB/MAB or LFB/MAB hit|SNP None|TLB L1 or L2 hit|LCK No|BLK N/A 189
1026a100142 |OP LOAD|LVL L1 or L1 hit|SNP None|TLB L1 or L2 hit|LCK Yes|BLK N/A 193
10468100442 |OP LOAD|LVL L2 or L2 hit|SNP None|TLB L1 or L2 hit|LCK No|BLK N/A 18
