Pass d+e option and log size via intel_pt_log_enable(). Allocate a buffer
for log messages and provide intel_pt_log_dump_buf() to dump and reset the
buffer upon decoder errors.
Example:
$ sudo perf record -e intel_pt// sleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.094 MB perf.data ]
$ sudo perf config itrace.debug-log-buffer-size=300
$ sudo perf script --itrace=ed+e+o | 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.
