From: Adrian Hunter adrian.hunter@intel.com Date: Fri, 10 Dec 2021 18:22:57 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] perf intel-pt: Fix some PGE (packet generation enable/control flow packets) usage
Packet generation enable (PGE) refers to whether control flow (COFI) packets are being produced.
PGE may be false even when branch-tracing is enabled, due to being out-of-context, or outside a filter address range. Fix some missing PGE usage.
