367 | pt Specifies pass-through which enables the 'branch' config term. | ||
368 | |||
369 | The default config selects 'pt' if it is available, so a user will | ||
370 | never need to specify this term. | ||

372 | branch Enable branch tracing. Branch tracing is enabled by default so to | ||
373 | disable branch tracing use 'branch=0'. | ||

375 | The default config selects 'branch' if it is available. | ||
376 | |||
377 | ptw Enable PTWRITE packets which are produced when a ptwrite instruction | ||
378 | is executed. | ||

387 | fup_on_ptw Enable a FUP packet to follow the PTWRITE packet. The FUP packet | ||
388 | provides the address of the ptwrite instruction. In the absence of | ||
389 | fup_on_ptw, the decoder will use the address of the previous branch | ||

391 | Note that fup_on_ptw will work even when branch tracing is disabled. | ||
