[PATCH V2 1/2] perf tools: set no_aux_samples for the tracking event in PT

From: kan . liang
Date: Fri Jun 30 2017 - 10:17:59 EST


From: Kan Liang <kan.liang@xxxxxxxxx>

The reason of introducing the tracking event (a dummy software event) is
to collect side-band information. Additional sampling is wasteful.
no_aux_samples should be set for tracking event.
