The "auxtrace_info" and "auxtrace" functions are not set in "tool" member of
"annotate". As a result, perf annotate does not support parsing itrace data.

A simple example is as follows:

# perf record -e arm_spe_0/branch_filter=1/ -a sleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 9 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 20.874 MB perf.data ]
# perf annotate --stdio
Error:
The perf.data data has no samples!

Can I get an Acked-by/Reviewed-by for this? I don't have a machine where
I can test this.


I have tested the patch on a machine that supports ARM SPE.
The test result is as follows:
# perf annotate --stdio
# perf record --all-user -e arm_spe_0/branch_filter=1/ ls
Couldn't synthesize bpf events.
perf.data perf.data.old
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.010 MB perf.data ]
# perf annotate --stdio

Intel PT and ARM SPE share auxtrace functions of itrace framework. Therefore, this patch can be verified on computers that support Intel PT.

Because I do not have a machine that supports Intel PT, I cannot verify the Intel PT scenario. :)

Thanks,
