Adrian Hunter 2855c05cf1 perf intel-pt: Add support for synthesizing callchains for regular events
Currently, callchains can be synthesized only for synthesized events.
Support also synthesizing callchains for regular events.

Example:

 # perf record --kcore --aux-sample -e '{intel_pt//,cycles}' -c 10000 uname
 Linux
 [ perf record: Woken up 3 times to write data ]
 [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.532 MB perf.data ]
 # perf script --itrace=Ge | head -20
 uname  4864 2419025.358181:      10000     cycles:

  # perf record --kcore --aux-sample -e '{intel_pt//,cycles}' -c 10000 uname
  Linux
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.233 MB perf.data ]

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
