A common key to use in a histogram is the cpuid - add a new cpu
'synthetic' field for that purpose. This field is named cpu rather
than $cpu or $common_cpu because 'cpu' already exists as a special
filter field and it makes more sense to match that rather than add
another name for the same thing.

The examples below provide a more concrete illustration of the
concepts and typical usage patterns discussed above.
+ 'special' event fields
+ ------------------------
+
+ There are a number of 'special event fields' available for use as
+ keys or values in a hist trigger. These look like and behave as if
+ they were actual event fields, but aren't really part of the event's
+ field definition or format file. They are however available for any
+ event, and can be used anywhere an actual event field could be.
+ 'Special' field names are always prefixed with a '$' character to
+ indicate that they're not normal fields (with the exception of
+ 'cpu', for compatibility with existing filter usage):
+
+ $common_timestamp u64 - timestamp (from ring buffer) associated
+ with the event, in nanoseconds. May be
+ modified by .usecs to have timestamps
+ interpreted as microseconds.
+ cpu int - the cpu on which the event occurred.
