Linus Torvalds 78baab7aa8 A feature was added in 4.3 that allowed users to filter trace points on
a tasks "comm" field. But this prevented filtering on a comm field that
 is within a trace event (like sched_migrate_task).
 
 When trying to filter on when a program migrated, this change prevented
 the filtering of the sched_migrate_task.
 
 To fix this, the event fields are examined first, and then the extra fields
 like "comm" and "cpu" are examined. Also, instead of testing to assign
 the comm filter function based on the field's name, the generic comm field
 is given a new filter type (FILTER_COMM). When this field is used to filter
 the type is checked. The same is done for the cpu filter field.
 
 Two new special filter types are added: "COMM" and "CPU". This allows users
 to still filter the tasks comm for events that have "comm" as one of their
 fields, in cases that users would like to filter sched_migrate_task on the
 comm of the task that called the event, and not the comm of the task that
 is being migrated.
