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().
