Currently hist trigger expressions don't support the use of numeric literals: e.g. echo 'hist:keys=common_pid:x=$y-1234' --> is not valid expression syntax Having the ability to use numeric constants in hist triggers supports a wider range of expressions for creating variables. Add support for creating trace event histogram variables from numeric literals. e.g. echo 'hist:keys=common_pid:x=1234,y=size-1024' >> event/trigger A negative numeric constant is created, using unary minus operator (parentheses are required). e.g. echo 'hist:keys=common_pid:z=-(2)' >> event/trigger Constants can be used with division/multiplication (added in the next patch in this series) to implement granularity filters for frequent trace events. For instance we can limit emitting the rss_stat trace event to when there is a 512KB cross over in the rss size: # Create a synthetic event to monitor instead of the high frequency # rss_stat event echo 'rss_stat_throttled unsigned int mm_id; unsigned int curr; int member; long size' >> tracing/synthetic_events # Create a hist trigger that emits the synthetic rss_stat_throttled # event only when the rss size crosses a 512KB boundary. echo 'hist:keys=keys=mm_id,member:bucket=size/0x80000:onchange($bucket) .rss_stat_throttled(mm_id,curr,member,size)' >> events/kmem/rss_stat/trigger A use case for using constants with addition/subtraction is not yet known, but for completeness the use of constants are supported for all operators.
