[PATCH 19/37] perf script: Add 'synth' event type for synthesized events
From: Adrian Hunter
Date: Fri May 19 2017 - 05:01:11 EST
Instruction trace decoders such as Intel PT may have additional information
recorded in the trace. For example, Intel PT has power information and a
there is a new instruction 'ptwrite' that can write a value into a PTWRITE
trace packet. Such information may be associated with an IP and so can be
treated as a sample (PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE). Custom data can be incorporated
in the sample as raw_data (PERF_SAMPLE_RAW). However a means of identifying
the raw data format is needed. That will be done by synthesizing an
attribute for it. So add an attribute type for custom synthesized events.
Different synthesized events will be identified by the attribute 'config'.
