Currently, callchains can be synthesized only for synthesized events.
Support also synthesizing callchains for regular events.
Example:
# perf record --kcore --aux-sample -e '{intel_pt//,cycles}' -c 10000 uname
Linux
[ perf record: Woken up 3 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.532 MB perf.data ]
# perf script --itrace=Ge | head -20

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 Restructured Text 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.
