[PATCH V2 0/6] perf dlfilter: Add dlfilter-show-cycles

[Adrian Hunter]

Hi

The issue with V1 was that the IPC information used to accumulate cycle
counts has a lower granularity because it is output only when the cycle
count correlates to the IP of the event i.e. only when the IPC is exactly
correct.

To enable more frequent updates to the cycle count, itrace option 'A' is
added, which specifies that IPC information can be approximate.

In addition there are some new miscellaneous patches.


Changes in V2:

    perf dlfilter: Add dlfilter-show-cycles
      Separate counts for branches, instructions or other events.

    New patches:
      perf auxtrace: Add missing Z option to ITRACE_HELP
      perf auxtrace: Add itrace A option to approximate IPC
      perf intel-pt: Support itrace A option to approximate IPC
      perf auxtrace: Add itrace d+o option to direct debug log to stdout
      perf intel-pt: Support itrace d+o option to direct debug log to stdout
