Subject: [PATCH V2 0/6] perf: New conditional branch filter
This patchset is the re-spin of the original branch stack sampling
patchset which introduced new PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_COND filter. This patchset
also enables SW based branch filtering support for PPC64 platforms which have
branch stack sampling support. With this new enablement, the branch filter support
for PPC64 platforms have been extended to include all these combinations discussed
below with a sample test application program.

(6) perf record -e branch-misses:u -j any_call,any_ret ./cprog
Error:
The perf.data file has no samples!
NOTE: As expected. The HW filters all the branches which are calls and SW tries to find return
branches in that given set. Both the filters are mutually exclussive, so obviously no samples
found in the end profile.
