To overcome this limitation, perf_branch_entry.type needs to be expanded along with generic branch classification. This series achieves this expansion. But before that it adds more generic branch classification types which can be accommodated without any changes, while also updating the x86 implementation as required. This series applies on v5.17-rc1 Please find BRBE captured branch type classification reference here. https://developer.arm.com/documentation/ddi0601/2021-12/AArch64-Registers/ BRBINF-n--EL1--Branch-Record-Buffer-Information-Register--n-?lang=en Proposed perf branch stack enablement on arm64 platform can be found here. https://lore.kernel.org/all/1642998653-21377-1-git-send-email-anshuman.khandual@arm.com/ These patches are split from the above series (PATCH 9/11, PATCH 10/11) as these perf changes are pre-requisite for BRBE enablement. Although there is another proposal (PATCH 11/11), extending struct perf_branch_entry further to capture branch record privilege level information (priv, 2 bits), it is not included here. But please do let me know if that proposal should also be discussed in this series. Thank you.
