perf trace: Introduce --filter for tracepoint events

perf trace: Introduce --filter for tracepoint events

Similar to what is in 'perf record', works just like there:

  # perf trace -e msr:*
   328.297 :0/0 msr:write_msr(msr: FS_BASE, val: 140240388381888)
   328.302 :0/0 msr:write_msr(msr: FS_BASE, val: 140240388381888)
   328.306 :0/0 msr:write_msr(msr: FS_BASE, val: 140240388381888)
   328.317 :0/0 msr:write_msr(msr: FS_BASE, val: 140240388381888)
   328.322 :0/0 msr:write_msr(msr: FS_BASE, val: 140240388381888)
   328.327 :0/0 msr:write_msr(msr: FS_BASE, val: 140240388381888)
   328.331 :0/0 msr:write_msr(msr: FS_BASE, val: 140240388381888)
   328.336 :0/0 msr:write_msr(msr: FS_BASE, val: 140240388381888)
   328.340 :0/0 ^Cmsr:write_msr(msr: FS_BASE, val: 140240388381888)
  #

So, for a system wide trace session looking at the write_msr tracepoint
we see a flood of MSR_FS_BASE, we need to get the number for that:

  # grep FS_BASE /tmp/build/perf/trace/beauty/generated/x86_arch_MSRs_array.c
	[0xc0000100 - x86_64_specific_MSRs_offset] = "FS_BASE",
  #

And then use it in a filter:

  # perf trace -e msr:* --filter="msr!=0xc0000100"
  <SNIP>
   942.177 :0/0 msr:write_msr(msr: IA32_TSC_DEADLINE, val: 3056931068232)
   942.199 :0/0 msr:write_msr(msr: IA32_TSC_DEADLINE, val: 3057135655252)
   942.203 :0/0 msr:write_msr(msr: IA32_TSC_DEADLINE, val: 3056931068222)
   942.231 :0/0 msr:write_msr(msr: IA32_TSC_DEADLINE, val: 3056998373022)
   942.241 :0/0 msr:write_msr(msr: IA32_TSC_DEADLINE, val: 3056931068236)
  <SNIP>
  #

Ok, lets filter that too, too noisy:

  # grep TSC_DEADLINE /tmp/build/perf/trace/beauty/generated/x86_arch_MSRs_array.c
	[0x000006E0] = "IA32_TSC_DEADLINE",
  #

  # perf trace -e msr:* --filter="msr!=0xc0000100 && msr!=0x6e0" -a sleep 0.1

One can combine that with filtering pids as well:

  # perf trace -e msr:* --filter="msr!=0xc0000100 && msr!=0x6e0" --filter-pids 4895 -a sleep 0.09

Ok, just another form of KVM to emit MSRs :-)

Next step: elliminate those greps by getting the filter expression,
looking for arg names, then for the arrays associated with it to do a
reverse lookup.

Also allow those filters to be associated with strace-like syscall
names.

After that: augment the 'val' arg for 'msr:write_msr' based on the first
arg, 'msr'.

Then, do that with eBPF too, not just with tracepoint filters.
