In the middle of trace stream, it might be interrupted thus the trace data is not continuous, the trace stream firstly is ended for previous trace block and restarted for next block.
To display related information for showing trace is restarted, this patch set sample flags for trace discontinuity:
- If one discontinuity packet is coming, append flag PERF_IP_FLAG_TRACE_END to the previous packet to indicate the trace has been ended; - If one instruction packet is following discontinuity packet, this instruction packet is the first one packet to restarting trace. So set flag PERF_IP_FLAG_TRACE_START to discontinuity packet, this flag will be used to generate sample when connect with the sequential instruction packet.
