AUX data can be used to annotate perf events such as performance counters or tracepoints/breakpoints by including it in sample records when PERF_SAMPLE_AUX flag is set. Such samples would be instrumental in debugging and profiling by providing, for example, a history of instruction flow leading up to the event's overflow. The implementation makes use of grouping an AUX event with all the events that wish to take samples of the AUX data, such that the former is the group leader. The samplees should also specify the desired size of the AUX sample via attr.aux_sample_size. AUX capable PMUs need to explicitly add support for sampling, because it relies on a new callback to take a snapshot of the buffer without touching the event states.
