[for-next][PATCH 14/18] tracing: Only report the stacktrace modifier on a real field

[Steven Rostedt <rostedt@kernel.org>]

From: Donggeun Yoo <donggeunyoo.kernel@gmail.com>

get_hist_field_flags() returns "stacktrace" for any field carrying
HIST_FIELD_FL_STACKTRACE, including the common_stacktrace pseudo-field,
which has no ftrace_event_field behind it. parse_field() no longer takes
the modifier there:

	if (stack_modifier &&
	    (!field || field->filter_type != FILTER_STACKTRACE)) {
		hist_err(tr, HIST_ERR_BAD_FIELD_MODIFIER, errpos(field_str));

so expr_field_str() renders "common_stacktrace.stacktrace", a spelling
that cannot be parsed back.

Report the modifier only when there is a field to report it for.

hist_field_print(), the other caller of get_hist_field_flags(), excludes
HIST_FIELD_FL_STACKTRACE before it calls, so this is confined to
expr_field_str(), whose only key renderer arrives in the next patch.
