Subject: [PATCH V2 01/12] perf auxtrace: Add Z itrace option for timeless decoding
Date: Fri, 30 Apr 2021 10:02:58 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210430070309.17624-2-adrian.hunter@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210430070309.17624-1-adrian.hunter@intel.com>
Issues correlating timestamps can be avoided with timeless decoding. Add
an option for that, so that timeless decoding can be used even when
timestamps are present.
