    perf tools: Add support for leader-sampling with AUX area events · e3459979
    Adrian Hunter authored
    When AUX area events are used in sampling mode, they must be the group
    leader, but the group leader is also used for leader-sampling. However,
    it is not desirable to use an AUX area event as the leader for
    leader-sampling, because it doesn't have any samples of its own. To support
    leader-sampling with AUX area events, use the 2nd event of the group as the
    "leader" for the purposes of leader-sampling.
    
    Example:
    
     # perf record --kcore --aux-sample -e '{intel_pt//,cycles,instructions}:S' -c 10000 uname
     [ perf record: Woken up 3 times to write data ]
     [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.786 MB perf.data ]
     # perf report
     Samples: 380  of events 'anon group { cycles, instructions }', Event count (approx.): 3026164
