It has been pointed out to me many times that it is useful to be able to switch off AUX records to save the bandwidth for records that actually matter, for example, in AUX overwrite mode. The usefulness of PERF_RECORD_AUX is in some of its flags, like the TRUNCATED flag that tells the decoder where exactly gaps in the trace are. The OVERWRITE flag, on the other hand will be set on every single record in overwrite mode. However, a PERF_RECORD_AUX[flags=OVERWRITE] is generated on every target task's sched_out, which over time adds up to a lot of useless information. If any folks out there have userspace that depends on a constant stream of OVERWRITE records for a good reason, they'll have to let us know.
