[PATCH 24/44] perf auxtrace: Add option to synthesize events for transactions

From: Adrian Hunter
Date: Thu Apr 09 2015 - 12:05:23 EST


Add AUX area tracing option 'x' to synthesize events for
transactions. This will be used by Intel PT to synthesize
an event record for each TSX start, commit or abort.
