Fengguang Wu's bot found two comparisons of unsigned integers to zero. These
were real bugs, as it would miss error conditions returned to zero.

Allow users to define 'named' hist triggers. All triggers created
with the same 'name=xxx' option will update the same shared histogram
data.
This expands the hist trigger syntax from this:
# echo hist:keys=xxx ... [ if filter] > event/trigger
to this:
# echo hist:name=xxx:keys=xxx ... [ if filter] > event/trigger
Named histograms must use a 'compatible' set of keys and values, which
means each event added to a set of named triggers must have the same
names and types.
Reading the 'hist' file of any of the participating events will
produce the same output as any other participating event, which is to
be expected since they share the same data.

Similar to enable_event/disable_event triggers, these triggers enable
and disable the aggregation of events into maps rather than enabling
and disabling their writing into the trace buffer.
They can be used to automatically start and stop hist triggers based
on a matching filter condition.
If there's a paused hist trigger on system:event, the following would
start it when the filter condition was hit:
# echo enable_hist:system:event [ if filter] > event/trigger
And the following would disable a running system:event hist trigger:
# echo disable_hist:system:event [ if filter] > event/trigger
See Documentation/trace/events.txt for real examples.

If we assume the maximum size for a string field, we don't have to
worry about its position. Since we only allow two keys in a compound
key and having more than one string key in a given compound key
doesn't make much sense anyway, trading a bit of extra space instead
of introducing an arbitrary restriction makes more sense.
We also need to use the event field size for static strings when
copying the contents, otherwise we get random garbage in the key.
Also, cast string return values to avoid warnings on 32-bit compiles.
Finally, rearrange the code without changing any functionality by
moving the compound key updating code into a separate function.

The string in a trace event is usually recorded as dynamic array which
is variable length. But current hist code only support fixed length
array so it cannot support most strings.
This patch fixes it by checking filter_type of the field and get
proper pointer with it. With this, it can get a histogram of exec()
based on filenames like below:
# cd /sys/kernel/tracing/events/sched/sched_process_exec
# cat 'hist:key=filename' > trigger
# ps
PID TTY TIME CMD
1 ? 00:00:00 init
29 ? 00:00:00 sh
38 ? 00:00:00 ps
# ls
enable filter format hist id trigger
# cat hist
# trigger info: hist:keys=filename:vals=hitcount:sort=hitcount:size=2048 [active]
{ filename: /usr/bin/ps } hitcount: 1
{ filename: /usr/bin/ls } hitcount: 1
{ filename: /usr/bin/cat } hitcount: 1

Allow users to specify keys and/or values to sort on. With this
addition, keys and values specified using the 'keys=' and 'vals='
keywords can be used to sort the hist trigger output via a new 'sort='
keyword. If multiple sort keys are specified, the output will be
sorted using the second key as a secondary sort key, etc. The default
sort order is ascending; if the user wants a different sort order,
'.descending' can be appended to the specific sort key. Before this
addition, output was always sorted by 'hitcount' in ascending order.
This expands the hist trigger syntax from this:
# echo hist:keys=xxx:vals=yyy \
[ if filter] > event/trigger
to this:
# echo hist:keys=xxx:vals=yyy:sort=zzz.descending \
[ if filter] > event/trigger

'hist' triggers allow users to continually aggregate trace events,
which can then be viewed afterwards by simply reading a 'hist' file
containing the aggregation in a human-readable format.
The basic idea is very simple and boils down to a mechanism whereby
trace events, rather than being exhaustively dumped in raw form and
viewed directly, are automatically 'compressed' into meaningful tables
completely defined by the user.
This is done strictly via single-line command-line commands and
without the aid of any kind of programming language or interpreter.
A surprising number of typical use cases can be accomplished by users
via this simple mechanism. In fact, a large number of the tasks that
users typically do using the more complicated script-based tracing
tools, at least during the initial stages of an investigation, can be
accomplished by simply specifying a set of keys and values to be used
in the creation of a hash table.
The Linux kernel trace event subsystem happens to provide an extensive
list of keys and values ready-made for such a purpose in the form of
the event format files associated with each trace event. By simply
consulting the format file for field names of interest and by plugging
them into the hist trigger command, users can create an endless number
of useful aggregations to help with investigating various properties
of the system. See Documentation/trace/events.txt for examples.
hist triggers are implemented on top of the existing event trigger
infrastructure, and as such are consistent with the existing triggers
from a user's perspective as well.
The basic syntax follows the existing trigger syntax. Users start an
aggregation by writing a 'hist' trigger to the event of interest's
trigger file:
# echo hist:keys=xxx [ if filter] > event/trigger
Once a hist trigger has been set up, by default it continually
aggregates every matching event into a hash table using the event key
and a value field named 'hitcount'.
To view the aggregation at any point in time, simply read the 'hist'
file in the same directory as the 'trigger' file:
# cat event/hist
The detailed syntax provides additional options for user control, and
is described exhaustively in Documentation/trace/events.txt and in the
virtual tracing/README file in the tracing subsystem.
