Subject: [PATCH 24/44] perf auxtrace: Add option to synthesize events for transactions
Add AUX area tracing option 'x' to synthesize events for
transactions. This will be used by Intel PT to synthesize
an event record for each TSX start, commit or abort.
Signed-off-by: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@...el.com>
