  perf report: Show branch info in callchain entry for browser mode (2016-11-14 13:34:08 -0300)

----------------------------------------------------------------
perf/core improvements and fixes:

New features:

- Allow querying and setting .perfconfig variables (Taeung Song)

- Show branch information in callchains (predicted, TSX aborts, loop
  iteractions, etc) (Jin Yao)

Infrastructure:

- Support kbuild's CFLAGS_REMOVE_ in tools/build (Jiri Olsa)

- Plug building jvmti to the main perf Makefile (Jiri Olsa)

Documentation:

- Update Intel PT documentation about context switch events (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- Fix 'perf record --call-graph dwarf' help/config in builds not linking
  with a unwind library, mentioning that is a possible record option (Rabin Vincent)
