[PATCH v2 2/2] perf cs-etm: Add support sample flags

From: Leo Yan
Date: Sun Nov 11 2018 - 00:08:51 EST


We have prepared the flags in the packet structure, so need to copy
the related value into sample structure thus perf tool can facilitate
sample flags.

The PREV_PACKET contains the branch instruction flags and PACKET
actually contains the flags for next branch instruction. So this patch
is to set sample flags with 'etmq->prev_packet->flags'.

This patch includes three fixing up for sample flags based on the
packets context:

- If the packet is exception packet or exception return packet, update
the previous packet for exception specific flags;
- If there has TRACE_ON or TRACE_OFF packet in the middle of instruction
packets, this indicates the trace is discontinuous, so append the flag
PERF_IP_FLAG_TRACE_END to the previous packet to indicate the trace
has been ended;
- If one instruction packet is behind TRACE_OFF packet, this instruction
is restarting trace packet. So set flag PERF_IP_FLAG_TRACE_START to
TRACE_OFF packet if one, this flag isn't used by TRACE_OFF packet but
used to indicate trace restarting when generate sample.
