Hi

Here is V3 patches for the introduction of an abstraction for
using the AUX area and Instruction tracing.

The patches can also be found here:

	http://git.infradead.org/users/ahunter/linux-perf.git

An example perf.data file and build id archive can be found here:

	http://git.infradead.org/~ahunter/tfr/

There is also a tar of the 3 most relevant files with debugging
symbols. These need to be placed in under the correct paths in
/usr/lib/debug to get symbols.

Changes in V3:

   New patch:
      perf tools: Amend mmap ref counting for the AUX area mmap

   Move some code under arch:
      perf tools: Add Intel PT support
      perf tools: Add Intel BTS support

   Updated documentation:
      perf report: Add Instruction Tracing support
      perf auxtrace: Add option to synthesize events for transactions
      perf tools: Take Intel PT into use
      perf tools: Add Intel BTS support

   Patches already applied:
      perf header: Add AUX area tracing feature
      perf evlist: Add support for mmapping an AUX area buffer
      perf tools: Add user events for AUX area tracing
      perf tools: Add support for AUX area recording
      perf record: Add basic AUX area tracing support
      perf record: Extend -m option for AUX area tracing mmap pages
      perf tools: Add a user event for AUX area tracing errors
      perf session: Add hooks to allow transparent decoding of AUX area tracing data
      perf session: Add instruction tracing options
      perf auxtrace: Add helpers for AUX area tracing errors
      perf auxtrace: Add helpers for queuing AUX area tracing data
      perf auxtrace: Add a heap for sorting AUX area tracing queues
      perf auxtrace: Add processing for AUX area tracing events
      perf auxtrace: Add a hashtable for caching
      perf tools: Add member to struct dso for an instruction cache
      perf script: Add Instruction Tracing support
      perf inject: Re-pipe AUX area tracing events
      perf inject: Add Instruction Tracing support
      perf script: Add field option 'flags' to print sample flags
      perf tools: Add aux_watermark member of struct perf_event_attr

Changes in V2:

   Get rid of MIN()
      perf auxtrace: Add helpers for AUX area tracing errors
      perf inject: Re-pipe AUX area tracing events
      perf tools: Add build option NO_AUXTRACE to exclude AUX area tracing


Intel BTS can be used on most recent Intel CPUs. Intel PT
is available on Broadwell.

Examples:

	Trace 'ls' with Intel BTS userspace only

	perf record --per-thread -e intel_bts//u ls
	perf report
	perf script

	Trace 'ls' with Intel BTS kernel and userspace

	~/libexec/perf-core/perf-with-kcore record bts-ls --per-thread -e intel_bts// -- ls
	~/libexec/perf-core/perf-with-kcore report bts-ls
	~/libexec/perf-core/perf-with-kcore script bts-ls

	Trace 'ls' with Intel PT userspace only

	perf record -e intel_pt//u ls
	perf report
	perf script

	Trace 'ls' with Intel PT kernel and userspace

	~/libexec/perf-core/perf-with-kcore record pt-ls -e intel_pt// -- ls
	~/libexec/perf-core/perf-with-kcore report pt-ls
	~/libexec/perf-core/perf-with-kcore script pt-ls


The abstraction has two separate aspects:
	1. recording AUX area data
	2. processing AUX area data

Recording consists of mmapping a separate buffer and copying
the data into the perf.data file.  The buffer is an AUX area
buffer.  The data is written preceded by a new user event
PERF_RECORD_AUXTRACE.  The data is too big to fit in the event
but follows immediately afterward. Session processing has to
skip to get to the next event header in a similar fashion to
the existing PERF_RECORD_HEADER_TRACING_DATA
event.  The main recording patches are:

      perf evlist: Add support for mmapping an AUX area buffer
      perf tools: Add user events for AUX area tracing
      perf tools: Add support for AUX area recording
      perf record: Add basic AUX area tracing support

Processing consists of providing hooks in session processing
to enable a decoder to see all the events and deliver synthesized
events transparently into the event stream.  The main processing
patch is:

      perf session: Add hooks to allow transparent decoding of AUX area tracing data
