Stephane Eranian bcc84ec65a perf record: Add ability to name registers to record
This patch modifies the -I/--int-regs option to enablepassing the name
of the registers to sample on interrupt. Registers can be specified by
their symbolic names. For instance on x86, --intr-regs=ax,si.

The motivation is to reduce the size of the perf.data file and the
overhead of sampling by only collecting the registers useful to a
specific analysis. For instance, for value profiling, sampling only the
registers used to passed arguements to functions.

With no parameter, the --intr-regs still records all possible registers
based on the architecture.

To name registers, it is necessary to use the long form of the option,
i.e., --intr-regs:

  $ perf record --intr-regs=si,di,r8,r9 .....

To record any possible registers:

  $ perf record -I .....
  $ perf report --intr-regs ...

To display the register, one can use perf report -D

To list the available registers:

  $ perf record --intr-regs=\?
  available registers: AX BX CX DX SI DI BP SP IP FLAGS CS SS R8 R9 R10 R11 R12 R13 R14 R15
