I've written a trace with "perf record"; when viewing via "perf report"
it I zoom into a function and choose
     Show individual samples with assembler

But that gives me just an error message:

     sh: 1: xed: not found
     (END)

Sadly https://packages.debian.org/search?searchon=contents&keywords=xed
doesn't show any package with a binary of that name...

Hi Philipp,

xed is not packaged in Debian indeed, and there is no ITP or RFP. But
see the description in
https://manpages.debian.org/unstable/linux-perf/perf-intel-pt.1.en.html#XED

Not sure if this really should be kept open as bug for linux-perf.

Regards,
Salvatore

Hi,
in 6.9-c1 perf scripts would prefer capstone to XED, but that said we
do not built perf with libcapstone support.

I'm not sure we would want that.

Salvatore
