<br>that builds the binary expressions to filter events/syscalls:r
<br>`perf trace -e write,read`
<br>
<br>The code mentioned wanting to use an implementation of log10() in the dvb
<br>drivers. I am not aware why that specific implementation is mentioned.
<br>I used the implementation found in `math.h`.
<br>
<br>I tested this patch passing 200 syscalls to filter on a `perf trace -e ${syscalls} ls`
<br>call. You can see the commands used and a snipped of the vallgrind results here:

<br>now perf only allocates the space necessary and not more.
