Subject: [PATCH 22/27] perf db-export: Add trace begin / end branch type variants
Date: Mon, 24 Sep 2018 12:02:37 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180924150242.14235-23-acme@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20180924150242.14235-1-acme@kernel.org>

From: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com>

Add branch types to cover different combinations with "trace begin" or
"trace end".

Previously, the Intel PT decoder would indicate begin / end by a branch
from / to zero. That hides useful information, in particular when a
trace ends with a call. Before remedying that, prepare the database
export to export branch types with more combinations that include trace
begin / end.  In those cases extend the descriptions to include 'trace
begin' and 'trace end' separately.
