[PATCH v5 02/10] btrace: Enable auxiliary instructions in record instruction-history.

Felix Willgerodt felix.willgerodt@intel.com
Wed Jun 22 11:43:32 GMT 2022


Print the auxiliary data when a btrace_insn of type BTRACE_INSN_AUX
is encountered in the instruction-history.  Printing is active by default,
it can be silenced with the /a modifier.

This patch is in preparation for the new ptwrite feature, which is based on
auxiliary instructions.
