Hi, These patches add some improvements for histogram sorting, addressing some shortcomings pointed out by Masami.
In order to address the specific problem pointed out by Masami, as well as add additional related error messages, the first patch does some simplification of assignment parsing. The second patch actually adds the new error messages. The fourth patch adds a new testcase for hist trigger parsing, similar to the same kind of tests for kprobes and uprobes. Additional tests covering all possible hist trigger errors should/will be added here in the future. The third patch just adds a missing hist: prefix to the error log so that the testcases work properly, and which should have been there anyway.
