Upstream commit c22ac2a3 ("perf: Enable branch record for software events") added ability to capture LBR (Last Branch Records) on Intel CPUs from inside BPF program at pretty much any arbitrary point. This is extremely useful capability that allows to figure out otherwise hard to debug problems, because LBR is now available based on some application-defined conditions, not just hardware-supported events. 'retsnoop' is one such tool that takes a huge advantage of this functionality and has proved to be an extremely useful tool in practice: https://github.com/anakryiko/retsnoop Now, AMD Zen4 CPUs got support for similar LBR functionality, but necessary wiring inside the kernel is not yet setup. This patch seeks to rectify this and follows a similar approach to the original patch for Intel CPUs. We implement an AMD-specific callback set to be called through perf_snapshot_branch_stack static call. Previous preparatory patches ensured that amd_pmu_core_disable_all() and __amd_pmu_lbr_disable() will be completely inlined and will have no branches, so LBR snapshot contamination will be minimized. This was tested on AMD Bergamo CPU and worked well when utilized from the aforementioned retsnoop tool.
