[Suggestion] Move some sections in Chapter 7. CPU Features For Performance Analysis to appendix #28

Closed dendibakh closed 6 months ago

dendibakh commented 11 months ago

Currently, we have in Chapter 7. CPU Features For Performance Analysis:

7-1 Top-Down Microarchitecture Analysis (TMA)
7-2 Last Branch Record (LBR)
7-3 Precise Event Based Sampling (PEBS)
7-4 Intel Processor Traces (PT)

Not all of this stuff is relevant to the broad audience, but some people would still like to know this. So maybe the appendix would be a better place for some of the sections. For example, Intel PT is a good candidate.

TMA is clearly needed in the body of the book, but the rest IMO can go to the appendix. TMA can be moved into Chapter 6. Performance Analysis Approaches, and then the rest (LBR, PEBS, PT) can go to the appendix.
