tracefs_filter_string_append, tracefs_filter_string_verify,
tracefs_event_filter_apply, tracefs_event_filter_clear - Add,
verify and apply event filters
#include <tracefs.h>
int tracefs_filter_string_append(struct tep_event *event, char **filter,
struct tracefs_filter type, const char *field,
enum tracefs_synth_compare compare, const char *val);
int tracefs_filter_string_verify(struct tep_event *event, const char *filter, char **err);
int tracefs_event_filter_apply(struct tracefs_instance *instance, struct tep_event *event, const char *filter);
int tracefs_event_filter_clear(struct tracefs_instance *instance, struct tep_event *event);
tracefs_filter_string_append() is a way to create and verify
event filters for a given event. It will verify that the field
belongs to the event and that the compare option that is used is
valid for the type of the field, as well as val. For the type
that is not of TRACEFS_FILTER_COMPARE, it will build the logical
string and also make sure that the syntax is correct. For
example, there are no more close parenthesis than open
parenthesis. An AND (&&) or OR (||) is not misplaced, etc.
tracefs_synth_append_start_filter() creates a filter or appends
to it for the starting event. Depending on type, it will build a
string of tokens for parenthesis or logic statemens, or it may
add a comparison of field to val based on compare.
If type is: TRACEFS_FILTER_COMPARE - See below TRACEFS_FILTER_AND
- Append "&&" to the filter TRACEFS_FILTER_OR - Append "||" to
the filter TRACEFS_FILTER_NOT - Append "!" to the filter
TRACEFS_FILTER_OPEN_PAREN - Append "(" to the filter
TRACEFS_FILTER_CLOSE_PAREN - Append ")" to the filter
field, compare, and val are ignored unless type is equal to
TRACEFS_FILTER_COMPARE, then _compare will be used for the
following:
TRACEFS_COMPARE_EQ - field == val
TRACEFS_COMPARE_NE - field != val
TRACEFS_COMPARE_GT - field > val
TRACEFS_COMPARE_GE - field >= val
TRACEFS_COMPARE_LT - field < val
TRACEFS_COMPARE_LE - field <= val
TRACEFS_COMPARE_RE - field ~ "val" : where field is a string.
TRACEFS_COMPARE_AND - field & val : where field is a flags field.
tracefs_filter_string_verify() will parse filter to make sure
that the fields are for the event, and that the syntax is
correct. If there’s an error in the syntax, and err is not NULL,
then it will be allocated with an error message stating what was
found wrong with the filter. err must be freed with free().
tracefs_event_filter_apply() applies given filter string on event
in given instance.
tracefs_event_filter_clear() clear all filters on event in given
instance.
tracefs_filter_string_append() returns 0 on success and -1 on
error.
tracefs_filter_string_verify() returns 0 on success and -1 on
error. if there is an error, and errno is not ENOMEM, then err is
allocated and will contain a string describing what was found
wrong with filter. err must be freed with free().
tracefs_event_filter_apply() returns 0 on success and -1 on
error.
tracefs_event_filter_clear() returns 0 on success and -1 on
error.
