perf, x86: Add INSTRUCTION_DECODER config flag
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The PEBS+LBR decoding magic needs the insn_get_length() infrastructure
to be able to decode x86 instruction length.

So split it out of KPROBES dependency and make it enabled when either
KPROBES or PERF_EVENTS is enabled.
