[PATCH 05/15] perf auxtrace: Add support for AUX area sample recording

From: Adrian Hunter
Date: Fri Nov 15 2019 - 07:43:35 EST


Add support for parsing and validating AUX area sample options. At present,
the only option is the sample size, but it is also necessary to ensure that
events are in a group with an AUX area event as the leader.
