An AUX area event must be the group leader when recording traces in
sample mode, but that does not produce the expected results from
'perf report' because it expects the leader to provide samples.
Rather than teach 'perf report' about AUX area sampling, un-group the
AUX area event during processing, making the 2nd event the leader.
Example:
$ perf record -e '{intel_pt//u,branch-misses:u}' -c 1 uname
Linux
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.080 MB perf.data ]
Before:
$ perf report
Samples: 800 of events 'anon group { intel_pt//u, branch-misses:u }', Event count (approx.): 800

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.
