[ Upstream commit 0cd032d3b5fcebf5454315400ab310746a81ca53 ]
brstackinsn must be allowed to be set by the user when AUX area data has been captured because, in that case, the branch stack might be synthesized on the fly. This fixes the following error:
Before:
$ perf record -e '{intel_pt//,cpu/mem_inst_retired.all_loads,aux-sample-size=8192/pp}:u' grep -rqs jhgjhg /boot [ perf record: Woken up 19 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 2.274 MB perf.data ] $ perf script -F +brstackinsn --xed --itrace=i1usl100 | head Display of branch stack assembler requested, but non all-branch filter set Hint: run 'perf record -b ...'
After:
