[PATCH v5 3/4] perf report: Add SPE options to --itrace argument

From: James Clark
Date: Tue Feb 25 2020 - 08:05:31 EST


From: Tan Xiaojun <tanxiaojun@xxxxxxxxxx>

The previous patch added support in "perf report" for some arm-spe
events(llc-miss, tlb-miss, branch-miss, remote_access). This patch
adds their help instructions.
