[PATCH V2 1/3] perf script: Print sample flags more nicely
From: Adrian Hunter
Date: Thu Jun 23 2016 - 09:46:11 EST
The flags field is synthesized and may have a value when Instruction
Trace decoding. The flags are "bcrosyiABEx" which stand for branch,
call, return, conditional, system, asynchronous, interrupt,
transaction abort, trace begin, trace end, and in transaction,
respectively.
Change the display so that known combinations of flags are printed more
nicely e.g.
"call" for "bc", "return" for "br", "jcc" for "bo", "jmp" for "b",
"int" for "bci", "iret" for "bri", "syscall" for "bcs", "sysret" for "brs",
"async" for "by", "hw int" for "bcyi", "tx abrt" for "bA", "tr strt" for "bB",
"tr end" for "bE".
However the "x" flag will be display separately in those cases
e.g. "jcc (x)" for a condition branch within a transaction.
Example:
perf record -e intel_pt//u ls
perf script --ns -F comm,cpu,pid,tid,time,ip,addr,sym,dso,symoff,flags

Finally, a user may not set fields to none for all event types.
