[PATCH V5 25/25] perf script: Add field option 'flags' to print sample flags

From: Adrian Hunter
Date: Sat Mar 07 2015 - 16:10:21 EST


Instruction Tracing will typically have access to information
about the instruction being executed for a particular ip sample.
Some of that information will be available in the 'flags' member
of struct perf_sample.

With the addition of transactions events synthesis to Instruction
Tracing options, there is a need to be able easily to see the
flags because they show whether the ip is at the start, commit or
abort of a tranasaction.

Consequently add an option to display the flags.

The flags are "bcrosyiABEx" which stand for branch, call, return,
conditional, system, asynchronous, interrupt, transaction abort,
trace begin, trace end, and in transaction, respectively.

Example using Intel PT:

perf script -fip,time,event,sym,addr,flags
