Adrian Hunter f0a0251cee perf intel-pt: Add support for synthesizing branch stacks for regular events
Use the new thread_stack__br_sample_late() function to create a thread
stack for regular events.

Example:

 # perf record --kcore --aux-sample -e '{intel_pt//,cycles:ppp}' -c 10000 uname
 Linux
 [ perf record: Woken up 2 times to write data ]
 [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.743 MB perf.data ]
 # perf report --itrace=Le --stdio | head -30 | tail -18

 # Samples: 11K of event 'cycles:ppp'
 # Event count (approx.): 11648
 #
 # Overhead  Command  Source Shared Object  Source Symbol                 Target Symbol                 Basic Block Cycles
 # ........  .......  ....................  ............................  ............................  ..................

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.
