[for-next][PATCH 06/14] tracing/filters: Optimise scalar vs cpumask filtering when the user mask is a single CPU

From: Steven Rostedt
Date: Wed Aug 23 2023 - 22:24:27 EST


From: Valentin Schneider <vschneid@xxxxxxxxxx>

Steven noted that when the user-provided cpumask contains a single CPU,
then the filtering function can use a scalar as input instead of a
full-fledged cpumask.

When the mask contains a single CPU, directly re-use the unsigned field
predicate functions. Transform '&' into '==' beforehand.
