The Intel PT facility grew some new functionality:
* PTWRITE packet carries the payload of the new PTWRITE instruction
that can be used to instrument Intel PT traces with user-supplied
data. Packets of this type are only generated if 'ptwrite' capability
is set and PTWEn bit is set in the event attribute's config. Flow
update packets (FUP) can be generated on PTWRITE packets if FUPonPTW
config bit is set. Setting these bits is not allowed if 'ptwrite'
capability is not set.
* PWRE, PWRX, MWAIT, EXSTOP packets communicate core power management
events. These depend on 'power_event_tracing' capability and are
enabled by setting PwrEvtEn bit in the event attribute.
Extend the driver capabilities and provide the proper sanity checks in the
event validation function.
