'perf inject' with Coresight data generates files that cannot be opened when only the last branch option is specified: perf inject -i perf.data --itrace=l -o inject.data perf script -i inject.data 0x33faa8 [0x8]: failed to process type: 9 [Bad address] This is because cs_etm__synth_instruction_sample() is called even when the sample type for instructions hasn't been setup. Last branch records are attached to instruction samples so it doesn't make sense to generate them when --itrace=i isn't specified anyway. This change disables all calls of cs_etm__synth_instruction_sample() unless --itrace=i is specified, resulting in a file with no samples if only --itrace=l is provided, rather than a bad file.

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.
