[PATCH v1 0/2] perf inject intel-PT LBR/brstack synthesis fixes
From: Ian Rogers
Date: Tue Apr 28 2026 - 03:04:13 EST
An intel-pt trace can be turned into LBR events either in perf script
or perf inject with the --itrace=L option. With perf inject the
generated perf.data file failed to be parsed as the sample events were
out of sync with their perf_event_attr. A range of fixes were
required.
This patch was separated from a large perf script refactor that
highlighted the breakage:
