Add a new event type for deferred callchains and a new callback for the struct perf_tool. For now it doesn't actually handle the deferred callchains but it just marks the sample if it has the PERF_CONTEXT_ USER_DEFFERED in the callchain array. At least, perf report can dump the raw data with this change. Actually this requires the next commit to enable attr.defer_callchain, but if you already have a data file, it'll show the following result. $ perf report -D ... 0x2158@perf.data [0x40]: event: 22 . . ... raw event: size 64 bytes . 0000: 16 00 00 00 02 00 40 00 06 00 00 00 0b 00 00 00 ......@......... . 0010: 03 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 a7 7f 33 fe 18 7f 00 00 ..........3..... . 0020: 0f 0e 33 fe 18 7f 00 00 48 14 33 fe 18 7f 00 00 ..3.....H.3..... . 0030: 08 09 00 00 08 09 00 00 e6 7a e7 35 1c 00 00 00 .........z.5.... 121163447014 0x2158 [0x40]: PERF_RECORD_CALLCHAIN_DEFERRED(IP, 0x2): 2312/2312: 0xb00000006 ...

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.
