Subject: [PATCH 5.1 013/405] tracing: Add a check_val() check before updating cond_snapshot() track_val
From: Tom Zanussi <tom.zanussi@...ux.intel.com>
commit 9b2ca371b1505a547217b244f903ad3fb86fa5b4 upstream.
Without this check a snapshot is taken whenever a bucket's max is hit,
rather than only when the global max is hit, as it should be.
Before:
In this example, we do a first run of the workload (cyclictest),
examine the output, note the max ('triggering value') (347), then do
a second run and note the max again.
In this case, the max in the second run (39) is below the max in the
first run, but since we haven't cleared the histogram, the first max
is still in the histogram and is higher than any other max, so it
should still be the max for the snapshot. It isn't however - the
value should still be 347 after the second run.

After:
In this example, we do a first run of the workload (cyclictest),
examine the output, note the max ('triggering value') (375), then do
a second run and note the max again.
In this case, the max in the second run is still 375, the highest in
any bucket, as it should be.
