Instruction trace decoders such as Intel PT may have additional information recorded in the trace. For example, Intel PT has power information and a there is a new instruction 'ptwrite' that can write a value into a PTWRITE trace packet. Such information may be associated with an IP and so can be treated as a sample (PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE). Custom data can be incorporated in the sample as raw_data (PERF_SAMPLE_RAW). However a means of identifying the raw data format is needed. That will be done by synthesizing an attribute for it. So add an attribute type for custom synthesized events. Different synthesized events will be identified by the attribute 'config'. Committer notes: Start those PERF_TYPE_ after the PMU range, i.e. after (INT_MAX + 1U), i.e. after perf_pmu_register() -> idr_alloc(end=0).

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
