perf/x86/intel: Record branch type
Perf already has support for disassembling the branch instruction and using the branch type for filtering. The patch just records the branch type in perf_branch_entry. Before recording, the patch converts the x86 branch type to common branch type. Change log: v10: Set the branch_map array to be static. The previous version has it on stack then makes the compiler to create it every time when the function gets called. v9: Use __ffs() to find first bit in type in common_branch_type(). It lets the code be clear. v8: Change PERF_BR_NONE to PERF_BR_UNKNOWN. v7: Just convert following x86 branch types to common branch types. X86_BR_CALL -> PERF_BR_CALL X86_BR_RET -> PERF_BR_RET X86_BR_JCC -> PERF_BR_COND X86_BR_JMP -> PERF_BR_UNCOND X86_BR_IND_CALL -> PERF_BR_IND_CALL X86_BR_ZERO_CALL -> PERF_BR_CALL X86_BR_IND_JMP -> PERF_BR_IND X86_BR_SYSCALL -> PERF_BR_SYSCALL X86_BR_SYSRET -> PERF_BR_SYSRET Others are set to PERF_BR_NONE v6: Not changed. v5: Just fix the merge error. No other update. v4: Comparing to previous version, the major changes are: 1. Uses a lookup table to convert x86 branch type to common branch type. 2. Move the JCC forward/JCC backward and cross page computing to user space. 3. Initialize branch type to 0 in intel_pmu_lbr_read_32 and intel_pmu_lbr_read_64 Signed-off-by: Yao Jin <yao.jin@linux.intel.com> Acked-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Alexander Shishkin <alexander.shishkin@linux.intel.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Cc: Kan Liang <kan.liang@intel.com> Cc: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1500379995-6449-3-git-send-email-yao.jin@linux.intel.comSigned-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
