Using grep -C with perf script -D can give erroneous results as grep loses
lines due to non-printable characters, for example, below the 0020, 0060
and 0070 lines are missing:
$ perf script -D | grep -C10 AUX | head

perf's isprint() is a custom implementation from the kernel, but the
kernel's _ctype appears to include characters from Latin-1 Supplement which
is not compatible with, for example, UTF-8. Fix by checking also isascii().
After:
$ tools/perf/perf script -D | grep -C10 AUX | head
. 0010: 08 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 1f 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
