Here is V3 of some more preparatory patches for Intel PT
that introduce an abstraction for Instruction tracing.
This is an x86-Intel only feature correct? If that is the case then the code
should be not compiled for other architectures.
It is not that simple. In the case of recording, it is not needed for
architectures that don't support it, but in the case of session processing
any architecture can (or should be able to) process the perf.data file of
any other architecture.
Understood. perf is a kitchen sink tool and the size of binaries for
embedded deployments is getting out of hand. e.g., for our PPC based
systems the entire root filesystem is 46M with perf taking up almost 3M
of that (stripped size too). New features need config options so user's
can decide the feature scope of what they are building. And we need to
get the kconfig style builds committed as well.
