Subject: [V3 01/10] perf: New conditional branch filter criteria in branch stack sampling
Date: Wed, 16 Oct 2013 12:26:48 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1381906617-11392-2-git-send-email-khandual@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1381906617-11392-1-git-send-email-khandual@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

POWER8 PMU based BHRB supports filtering for conditional branches.
This patch introduces new branch filter PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_COND which
will extend the existing perf ABI. Other architectures can provide
this functionality with either HW filtering support (if present) or
with SW filtering of instructions.
