[PATCH 09/19] perf evsel: Support PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_HW_INDEX

[Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@kernel.org>]

From: Kan Liang <kan.liang@linux.intel.com>

A new branch sample type PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_HW_INDEX has been introduced
in latest kernel.

Enable HW_INDEX by default in LBR call stack mode.

If kernel doesn't support the sample type, switching it off.

Add HW_INDEX in attr_fprintf as well. User can check whether the branch
sample type is set via debug information or header.

Committer testing:

First collect some samples with LBR callchains, system wide, for a few
seconds:

  # perf record --call-graph lbr -a sleep 5
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.625 MB perf.data (224 samples) ]
  #

Now lets use 'perf evlist -v' to look at the branch_sample_type:

  # perf evlist -v
  cycles: size: 120, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|CALLCHAIN|CPU|PERIOD|BRANCH_STACK, read_format: ID, disabled: 1, inherit: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, freq: 1, task: 1, precise_ip: 3, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1, mmap2: 1, comm_exec: 1, ksymbol: 1, bpf_event: 1, branch_sample_type: USER|CALL_STACK|NO_FLAGS|NO_CYCLES|HW_INDEX
  #

So the machine has the kernel feature, and it was correctly added to
perf_event_attr.branch_sample_type, for the default 'cycles' event.

If we do it in another machine, where the kernel lacks the HW_INDEX
feature, we get:

  # perf record --call-graph lbr -a sleep 2s
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 1.690 MB perf.data (499 samples) ]
  # perf evlist -v
  cycles: size: 120, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|CALLCHAIN|CPU|PERIOD|BRANCH_STACK, read_format: ID, disabled: 1, inherit: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, freq: 1, task: 1, precise_ip: 3, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1, mmap2: 1, comm_exec: 1, ksymbol: 1, bpf_event: 1, branch_sample_type: USER|CALL_STACK|NO_FLAGS|NO_CYCLES
  #

No HW_INDEX in attr.branch_sample_type.
