Wait a bit, I need to process a patchset from Jiri Olsa that touches the Makefiles, to pave the way for Kconfig usage in tools/perf/ and a few other bits, after that gets in, try again please. - Arnaldo > > > 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.
