Linux kernel source tree
bcef044150
Adds basic support for division and multiplication operations for
hist trigger variable expressions.
For simplicity this patch only supports, division and multiplication
for a single operation expression (e.g. x=$a/$b), as currently
expressions are always evaluated right to left. This can lead to some
incorrect results:
e.g. echo 'hist:keys=common_pid:x=8-4-2' >> event/trigger
8-4-2 should evaluate to 2 i.e. (8-4)-2
but currently x evaluate to 6 i.e. 8-(4-2)
Multiplication and division in sub-expressions will work correctly, once
correct operator precedence support is added (See next patch in this
series).
For the undefined case of division by 0, the histogram expression
evaluates to (u64)(-1). Since this cannot be detected when the
expression is created, it is the responsibility of the user to be
aware and account for this possibility.
Examples:
echo 'hist:keys=common_pid:a=8,b=4,x=$a/$b' \
>> event/trigger
echo 'hist:keys=common_pid:y=5*$b' \
>> event/trigger

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
