Subject: [PATCH 3.16 152/178] perf/x86: Avoid exposing wrong/stale data in
 intel_pmu_lbr_read_32()

3.16.46-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@...radead.org>

commit f2200ac311302fcdca6556fd0c5127eab6c65a3e upstream.

When the perf_branch_entry::{in_tx,abort,cycles} fields were added,
intel_pmu_lbr_read_32() wasn't updated to initialize them.
