tracing/histogram: Fix sorting on old "cpu" value
When trying to add a histogram against an event with the "cpu" field, it
was impossible due to "cpu" being a keyword to key off of the running CPU.
So to fix this, it was changed to "common_cpu" to match the other generic
fields (like "common_pid"). But since some scripts used "cpu" for keying
off of the CPU (for events that did not have "cpu" as a field, which is
most of them), a backward compatibility trick was added such that if "cpu"
was used as a key, and the event did not have "cpu" as a field name, then
it would fallback and switch over to "common_cpu".
This fix has a couple of subtle bugs. One was that when switching over to
"common_cpu", it did not change the field name, it just set a flag. But
the code still found a "cpu" field. The "cpu" field is used for filtering
and is returned when the event does not have a "cpu" field.
This was found by:
# cd /sys/kernel/tracing
# echo hist:key=cpu,pid:sort=cpu > events/sched/sched_wakeup/trigger
# cat events/sched/sched_wakeup/hist
Which showed the histogram unsorted:
{ cpu: 19, pid: 1175 } hitcount: 1
{ cpu: 6, pid: 239 } hitcount: 2
{ cpu: 23, pid: 1186 } hitcount: 14
{ cpu: 12, pid: 249 } hitcount: 2
{ cpu: 3, pid: 994 } hitcount: 5
Instead of hard coding the "cpu" checks, take advantage of the fact that
trace_event_field_field() returns a special field for "cpu" and "CPU" if
the event does not have "cpu" as a field. This special field has the
"filter_type" of "FILTER_CPU". Check that to test if the returned field is
of the CPU type instead of doing the string compare.
Also, fix the sorting bug by testing for the hist_field flag of
HIST_FIELD_FL_CPU when setting up the sort routine. Otherwise it will use
the special CPU field to know what compare routine to use, and since that
special field does not have a size, it returns tracing_map_cmp_none.
