Subject: [PATCH v6 1/5] tools, perf, script: Add --insn-trace for instruction decoding
From: Andi Kleen <ak@...ux.intel.com>
Add a --insn-trace short hand option for decoding and disassembling
instruction streams for intel_pt. This automatically pipes the
output into the xed disassembler to generate disassembled instructions.
This just makes this use model much nicer to use

Now
% perf record -e intel_pt// ...
% perf script --insn-trace --xed
... same output ...
XED needs to be installed with:
> git clone https://github.com/intelxed/mbuild.git mbuild
> git clone https://github.com/intelxed/xed
> cd xed
> mkdir obj
> cd obj
> ../mfile.py
> sudo ../mfile.py --prefix=/usr/local install
