Isn't event->ctx->task redundant here. I thought you were already allowing
LBR_CALLSTACK only for per-process events. That should be checked during
setup, no need to do it for each interrupt.
Also it would be nicer to have:
if (needs_lbr_stack(event))
data.br_stack = &cpuc->lbr_stack;
And you'd hide the two tests in that needs_lbr_stack() inline:
has_branch_stack() and has_lbr_callstack().
That would be better for the eyes....
