If PEBS declares ability to output its data to Intel PT stream, use the aux_output attribute bit to enable PEBS data output to PT. This requires a PT event to be present and scheduled in the same context. Unlike the DS area, the kernel does not extract PEBS records from the PT stream to generate corresponding records in the perf stream, because that would require real time in-kernel PT decoding, which is not feasible. The PMI, however, can still be used. The output setting is per-CPU, so all PEBS events must be either writing to PT or to the DS area, therefore, in case of conflict, the conflicting event will fail to schedule, allowing the rotation logic to alternate between the PEBS->PT and PEBS->DS events.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
