Steven Rostedt (VMware) 80765597bc tracing: Rewrite filter logic to be simpler and faster
Al Viro reviewed the filter logic of ftrace trace events and found it to be
very troubling. It creates a binary tree based on the logic operators and
walks it during tracing. He sent myself and Tom Zanussi a long explanation
(and formal proof) of how to do the string parsing better and end up with a
program array that can be simply iterated to come up with the correct
results.

I took his ideas and his pseudo code and rewrote the filter logic based on
them. In doing so, I was able to remove a lot of code, and have a much more
condensed filter logic in the process. I wrote a very long comment
describing the methadology that Al proposed in my own words. For more info
on how this works, read the comment above predicate_parse().

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
