Subject: [PATCH 4.9 109/118] perf auxtrace: Define auxtrace record alignment

4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@...el.com>

commit c3fcadf0bb765faf45d6d562246e1d08885466df upstream.

Define auxtrace record alignment so that it can be referenced elsewhere.

Note this is preparation for patch "perf intel-pt: Fix overlap calculation
for padding"
