Subject: [PATCH V3 6/6] perf tools: Add branch event knob
From: Kan Liang <kan.liang@...ux.intel.com>
Add a new branch filter, "event", for the branch event option. It is
used to mark the events which should be logged in the branch. If it is
applied with the -j option, all the events should be logged in the
branch. If the legacy kernel doesn't support the new branch sample type,
switching off the branch event filter.
The branch event requires extra space. If the "event" branch filter is
detected, the PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_EXTRA is applied automatically for the
entire group.
The new extra space of each branch is dumped right after the regular
branch stack information via perf report -D.
Usage examples:
perf record -e "{branch-instructions,branch-misses}:S" -j any,event
Only the first event, branch-instructions, collect the LBR. Both
branch-instructions and branch-misses are marked as logged events.
The occurrences information of them can be found in the branch stack
extension space of each branch.
perf record -e "{cpu/branch-instructions,branch_type=any/,
cpu/branch-misses,branch_type=event/}"
Only the first event, branch-instructions, collect the LBR. Only the
branch-misses event is marked as a logged event.
