Now we can see if it is set when using verbose mode in various tools,
such as 'perf test':
# perf test -vv back
45: Test backward reading from ring buffer :
--- start ---
<SNIP>
------------------------------------------------------------
perf_event_attr:
type 2
size 112
config 0x98
{ sample_period, sample_freq } 1
sample_type IP|TID|TIME|CPU|PERIOD|RAW
disabled 1
mmap 1
comm 1
task 1
sample_id_all 1
exclude_guest 1
mmap2 1
comm_exec 1
write_backward 1
------------------------------------------------------------
sys_perf_event_open: pid 20911 cpu -1 group_fd -1 flags 0x8
<SNIP>
---- end ----
Test backward reading from ring buffer: Ok
