[PATCH v0 5/6] perf/x86/intel/pt: Free up space in a ToPA descriptor

From: Alexander Shishkin
Date: Wed Aug 21 2019 - 08:48:20 EST


Currently, we're storing physical address of a ToPA table in its
descriptor, which is completely unnecessary. Since the descriptor
and the table itself share the same page, reducing the descriptor
size leaves more space for the table.
