Series perf record: Implement BPF sample filter (v1) |

Commit Message

Namhyung Kim Feb. 14, 2023, 5:04 a.m. UTC
  This implements a tiny parser for the filter expressions used for BPF.
Each expression will be converted to struct perf_bpf_filter_expr and
be passed to a BPF map.

For now, I'd like to start with the very basic comparisons like EQ or
GT.  The LHS should be a term for sample data and the RHS is a number.
The expressions are connected by a comma.  For example,

    period > 10000
    ip < 0x1000000000000, cpu == 3

To avoid memory leaks for parse errors, I think you want here:
%destructor { free($$); } <expr>

Thanks,
