[PATCH V3 3/3] perf intel-pt: Add support for PERF_RECORD_AUX_OUTPUT_HW_ID
From: Adrian Hunter
Date: Tue Sep 07 2021 - 12:41:37 EST
Originally, software only supported redirecting at most one PEBS event to
Intel PT (PEBS-via-PT) because it was not able to differentiate one event
from another. To overcome that, add support for the
PERF_RECORD_AUX_OUTPUT_HW_ID side-band event.

+Originally, software only supported redirecting at most one PEBS event because it
+was not able to differentiate one event from another. To overcome that, more recent
+kernels and perf tools add support for the PERF_RECORD_AUX_OUTPUT_HW_ID side-band event.
+To check for the presence of that event in a PEBS-via-PT trace:
+
+ perf script -D --no-itrace | grep PERF_RECORD_AUX_OUTPUT_HW_ID
To display PEBS events from the Intel PT trace, use the itrace 'o' option e.g.
