[PATCH v2 tracing 1/6] tracing: support > 8 byte array filter predicates

From: Alan Maguire
Date: Fri Apr 28 2023 - 11:35:15 EST


For > 8 byte values, allow simple binary '==', '!='
predicates where the user passes in a hex ASCII
representation of the desired value. The representation
must match the field size exactly, and a simple memory
comparison between predicate and actual value is carried out.
For example:

cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/tcp/tcp_receive_reset
echo "saddr_v6 == 0x00000000000000000000000000000001" > filter
