are you sure this one works for !(var & 2) ?
'not' is either 0 or 1, so it works for other macro:
(val == *addr) ^ pred->not

whereas here 'match' is 'int' and
match = (*addr & val)
will not be 0 or 1...

the patch is small, but delicate...
In such cases I trust tests more than code review ;)
Could you add few tests for this to
CONFIG_FTRACE_STARTUP_TEST
part of the file ?
