AFAICT Peter has accepted the Intel PT kernel driver but I don't know if it will be in 3.20. > Changes in V4: > > perf tools: Add build option NO_ITRACE to exclude Instruction Tracing > New patch > > Re-based on Arnaldo's perf/core branch: > > 3dd417d4010c8e141b0f32121cdc8d82aa4a9c6a > perf tools: Remove some unused functions from color.c > > Changes in V3: > > perf tools: Add support for Instruction Trace recording > Added evsel as a parameter to itrace_record__init > > perf record: Add basic Instruction Tracing support > Moved the call to itrace_record__init after parse > options so that evsel could be passed and the > selected events used to determine what kind of > Instruction Tracing to use e.g. Intel PT vs BTS > > Re-based on Arnaldo's perf/core branch: > > 41e950c033b7df997d4b38653efe6554be9b96a7 > Merge tag 'perf-core-for-mingo' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux into perf/urgent > > Changes in V2: > > Dropped patches already applied. > > Re-based on Arnaldo's perf/core branch: > > a84808083688d82d7f1e5786ccf5df0ff7d448cb > perf tools: Only override the default :tid comm entry > > > The abstraction has two separate aspects: > 1. recording Instruction Trace data > 2. processing Instruction Trace data > > Recording consists of mmapping a separate buffer and copying > the data into the perf.data file.
