[PATCH 05/25] perf auxtrace: Add option to synthesize events for transactions
From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Date: Tue May 05 2015 - 17:33:17 EST
From: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@xxxxxxxxx>
Add AUX area tracing option 'x' to synthesize events for transactions.
This will be used by Intel PT to synthesize an event record for each TSX
start, commit or abort.
