Instruction sample types are enabled in the default itrace options in perf, but this never applied to SPE because the default nanoseconds period isn't supported. This meant that instructions ended up being opt-in by the user only when they requested an instruction based period. Change the default period type to instructions so that instruction samples are generated by default. This can overridden by specifying any --itrace option. This solves a common complaint from users that the unfiltered SPE samples appear to be missing, and only the samples that have memory flags set appear in the various memory groups.

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 reStructuredText 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.
