[PATCH 01/33] perf, x86: Add PEBSv2 record support

Andi Kleen
2012-10-26T20:30:44Z

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.
