tracing: Add hist trigger 'log2' modifier

Browse source

Allow users to have numeric fields displayed as log2 values in case
value range is very wide by appending '.log2' to field names.

For example,

  # echo 'hist:key=bytes_req' > kmalloc/trigger
  # cat kmalloc/hist

  { bytes_req:        504 } hitcount:          1
  { bytes_req:         11 } hitcount:          1
  { bytes_req:        104 } hitcount:          1
  { bytes_req:         48 } hitcount:          1
  { bytes_req:       2048 } hitcount:          1
  { bytes_req:       4096 } hitcount:          1
  { bytes_req:        240 } hitcount:          1
  { bytes_req:        392 } hitcount:          1
  { bytes_req:         13 } hitcount:          1
  { bytes_req:         28 } hitcount:          1
  { bytes_req:         12 } hitcount:          1
  { bytes_req:         64 } hitcount:          2
  { bytes_req:        128 } hitcount:          2
  { bytes_req:         32 } hitcount:          2
  { bytes_req:          8 } hitcount:         11
  { bytes_req:         10 } hitcount:         13
  { bytes_req:         24 } hitcount:         25
  { bytes_req:        160 } hitcount:         29
  { bytes_req:         16 } hitcount:         33
  { bytes_req:         80 } hitcount:         36

When using '.log2' modifier, the output looks like:

  # echo 'hist:key=bytes_req.log2' > kmalloc/trigger
  # cat kmalloc/hist

  { bytes_req: ~ 2^12 } hitcount:          1
  { bytes_req: ~ 2^11 } hitcount:          1
  { bytes_req: ~ 2^9  } hitcount:          2
  { bytes_req: ~ 2^6  } hitcount:          3
  { bytes_req: ~ 2^3  } hitcount:         13
  { bytes_req: ~ 2^5  } hitcount:         19
  { bytes_req: ~ 2^8  } hitcount:         49
  { bytes_req: ~ 2^7  } hitcount:         57
  { bytes_req: ~ 2^4  } hitcount:         74
