From bac52139f0b7ab31330e98fd87fc5a2664951050 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Anshuman Khandual Date: Thu, 22 May 2014 12:50:07 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] perf: Add new conditional branch filter 'PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_COND' This patch introduces new branch filter PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_COND which will extend the existing perf ABI. This will filter branches which are conditional. Various architectures can provide this functionality either with HW filtering support (if present) or with SW filtering of captured branch instructions.
