Subject: [PATCH V2 06/12] perf intel-pt: Use itrace error flags to suppress some errors
Date: Fri, 10 Jul 2020 18:10:58 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200710151104.15137-7-adrian.hunter@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200710151104.15137-1-adrian.hunter@intel.com>
The itrace "e" option may be followed by flags which affect what errors
will or will not be reported. Each flag must be preceded by either '+' or '-'.
The flags supported by Intel PT are:
-o Suppress overflow errors
-l Suppress trace data lost errors
For example, for errors but not overflow or data lost errors:
--itrace=e-o-l
Suppressing those errors can be useful for testing and debugging
because they are not due to decoding.
