The "record instruction-history" and "record function-call-history" commands
are only available for "record btrace" (and "record bts" and "record pt").

If you are using "record full" (or just "record"), you may use the "disassemble"
command to disassemble the current function and the "reverse-stepi" command
to step backwards through the recorded instructions.

Markus.
