[PATCH v4 7/9] perf mem: Support AUX trace

From: Leo Yan <hidden>
Date: 2020-11-06 09:50:04
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: performance events subsystem, the rest · Maintainers: Peter Zijlstra, Ingo Molnar, Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo, Namhyung Kim, Linus Torvalds

Perf memory tool doesn't support AUX trace data so it cannot receive the
hardware tracing data.  On Arm64, although it doesn't support PMU events
for memory load and store, but Arm SPE is a good candidate for memory
profiling, the hardware tracer can record memory accessing operations
with affiliated information (e.g. physical address and virtual address
for accessing, cache levels, TLB walking, latency, etc).

To allow "perf mem" tool to support AUX trace, this patch adds the AUX
callbacks for session structure; make itrace memory event as default for
"perf mem", this tells the AUX trace decoder to synthesize memory
samples.
