The BUFFER_LAT section has: Actually, let's call it BUFFER_TEXT. Although we do it for "latency" format, which I'm thinking we should call it something different for v7, the real difference is that it's text and not binary. Perhaps we can save other formats as "text". In fact, I think v7 should allow for a mixture of TEXT and BINARY buffers. -- Steve > - section header, as all other sections > - compression of the trace data, optional > - corresponding trace option, pointing to the section > > Signed-off-by: Tzvetomir Stoyanov (VMware) <tz.stoyanov@xxxxxxxxx>
