    perf script: Add field option 'flags' to print sample flags · 400ea6d3
    Adrian Hunter authored
    Instruction tracing will typically have access to information about the
    instruction being executed for a particular ip sample.  Some of that
    information will be available in the 'flags' member of struct
    perf_sample.
    
    With the addition of transactions events synthesis to Instruction
    Tracing options, there is a need to be able easily to see the flags
    because they show whether the ip is at the start, commit or abort of a
    tranasaction.
    
    Consequently add an option to display the flags.
    
    The flags are "bcrosyiABEx" which stand for branch, call, return,
    conditional, system, asynchronous, interrupt, transaction abort, trace
    begin, trace end, and in transaction, respectively.
    
    Example using Intel PT:
    
    perf script -fip,time,event,sym,addr,flags
