perf auxtrace: Add itrace option flag d+e to log on error
Add flag +e to the itrace d (decoder debug log) option to get output only on decoding errors. The log can be very big so reducing the output to where there are decoding errors can be useful for analyzing errors. By default, the log size in that case is 16384 bytes, but can be altered by perf config e.g. perf config itrace.debug-log-buffer-size=30000 Reviewed-by: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Reviewed-by: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com> Cc: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20220905073424.3971-3-adrian.hunter@intel.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
