Subject: [PATCH 4.19 100/110] include/linux/pfn_t.h: force ~ to be parsed as an unary operator

4.19-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Sebastien Boisvert <sebhtml@...eotron.qc.ca>

commit 4d54954a197175c0dcb3c82af0c0740d0c5f827a upstream.

Tracing the event "fs_dax:dax_pmd_insert_mapping" with perf produces this
warning:

      [fs_dax:dax_pmd_insert_mapping] unknown op '~'

It is printed in process_op (tools/lib/traceevent/event-parse.c) because
'~' is parsed as a binary operator.

perf reads the format of fs_dax:dax_pmd_insert_mapping ("print fmt") from
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/fs_dax/dax_pmd_insert_mapping/format .

The format contains:

~(((u64) ~(~(((1UL) << 12)-1)))
         ^
         \ interpreted as a binary operator by process_op().

This part is generated in the declaration of the event class
dax_pmd_insert_mapping_class in include/trace/events/fs_dax.h :

		__print_flags_u64(__entry->pfn_val & PFN_FLAGS_MASK, "|",
			PFN_FLAGS_TRACE),

This patch adds a pair of parentheses in the declaration of PFN_FLAGS_MASK
to make sure that '~' is parsed as a unary operator by perf.

The part of the format that was problematic is now:

~(((u64) (~(~(((1UL) << 12)-1))))

Now, all the '~' are parsed as unary operators.
