[PATCH 3/3] tools lib traceevent: Add handler for __builtin_expect()

From: Steven Rostedt
Date: Tue Mar 24 2020 - 16:10:10 EST


From: "Steven Rostedt (VMware)" <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx>

In order to move pointer checks like IS_ERR_VALUE() out of the hotpath and
into the reader path of a trace event, user space tools need to be able to
parse that. IS_ERR_VALUE() is defined as:

#define IS_ERR_VALUE() unlikely((unsigned long)(void *)(x) >= (unsigned long)-MAX_ERRNO)

Which eventually turns into:

__builtin_expect(!!((unsigned long)(void *)(x) >= (unsigned long)-4095), 0)

Now the traceevent parser can handle most of that except for the
__builtin_expect(), which needs to be added.
