[PATCH V12 05/10] arm64/perf: Add branch stack support in ARMV8 PMU

Thu Jun 15 06:32:34 PDT 2023


This enables support for branch stack sampling event in ARMV8 PMU, checking
has_branch_stack() on the event inside 'struct arm_pmu' callbacks. Although
these branch stack helpers armv8pmu_branch_XXXXX() are just dummy functions
for now. While here, this also defines arm_pmu's sched_task() callback with
armv8pmu_sched_task(), which resets the branch record buffer on a sched_in.
