[PATCH V2 1/6] perf script: Enhance sample flags for trace begin / end

From: Adrian Hunter
Date: Thu Sep 20 2018 - 09:02:42 EST


Allow for different combinations of sample flags with "trace begin" or
"trace end".

Previously, the Intel PT decoder would indicate begin / end by a branch
from / to zero. That hides useful information, in particular when a trace
ends with a call. Before remedying that, prepare 'perf script' to display
sample flags with more combinations that include trace begin / end. In
those cases display 'tr start' and 'tr end' separately.
