[PATCH V2 6/6] perf intel-pt: Support itrace d+o option to direct debug log to stdout

From: Adrian Hunter
Date: Tue Oct 26 2021 - 05:02:13 EST


It can be useful to see debug output in between normal output.

Add support for AUXTRACE_LOG_FLG_USE_STDOUT to Intel PT.

must be preceded by either '+' or '-'. The flags support by Intel PT are:
-a Suppress logging of perf events
+a Log all perf events

By default, logged perf events are filtered by any specified time ranges, but
flag +a overrides that.
