[PATCH 1/5] perf, x86: Add PEBSv2 record support v2

From: Andi Kleen
Date: Mon Feb 04 2013 - 20:50:39 EST


From: Andi Kleen <ak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Add support for the v2 PEBS format. It has a superset of the v1 PEBS
fields, but has a longer record so we need to adjust the code paths.

The main advantage is the new "EventingRip" support which directly
gives the instruction, not off-by-one instruction. So with precise == 2
we use that directly and don't try to use LBRs and walking basic blocks.
This lowers the overhead significantly.

Some other features are added in later patches.

Reviewed-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@xxxxxxxxxx>
v2: Rename various identifiers. Add more comments. Get rid of a cast.
