Subject[PATCH v6 1/5] tools, perf, script: Add --insn-trace for instruction decoding
Date
From: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com>

Add a --insn-trace short hand option for decoding and disassembling
instruction streams for intel_pt. This automatically pipes the
output into the xed disassembler to generate disassembled instructions.
This just makes this use model much nicer to use

Before

% perf record -e intel_pt// ...
% perf script --itrace=i0ns --ns -F +insn,-event,-period | xed -F insn: -A -64

Now

% perf record -e intel_pt// ...
% perf script --insn-trace --xed
... same output ...

XED needs to be installed with:

> git clone https://github.com/intelxed/mbuild.git mbuild
> git clone https://github.com/intelxed/xed
> cd xed
> mkdir obj
> cd obj
> ../mfile.py
> sudo ../mfile.py --prefix=/usr/local install
