Add the necessary infrastructure to allow the variables defined on one event to be referenced in another. This allows variables set by a previous event to be referenced and used in expressions combining the variable values saved by that previous event and the event fields of the current event. For example, here's how a latency can be calculated and saved into yet another variable named 'wakeup_lat': # echo 'hist:keys=pid,prio:ts0=common_timestamp ... # echo 'hist:keys=next_pid:wakeup_lat=common_timestamp-$ts0 ... In the first event, the event's timetamp is saved into the variable ts0. In the next line, ts0 is subtracted from the second event's timestamp to produce the latency. Further users of variable references will be described in subsequent patches, such as for instance how the 'wakeup_lat' variable above can be displayed in a latency histogram.
