Subject: [PATCH 1/2] perf intel-pt: Remove no_force_psb from documentation
Date: Thu, 24 Sep 2015 13:05:21 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1443089122-19082-2-git-send-email-adrian.hunter@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1443089122-19082-1-git-send-email-adrian.hunter@intel.com>
no_force_psb was dropped as a late change to the kernel
driver. Consequently, remove it from the documentation.

- It stops the driver resetting the byte count to zero whenever

- will produce a PSB anyway.

- In any case, there is still a PSB when the trace is enabled for

- no_force_psb can be used to slightly decrease the trace size but
- may make it harder for the decoder to recover from errors.

- no_force_psb is not selected by default.
