Subject: [PATCH V4 01/10] perf: Add PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_COND
Date: Wed,  4 Dec 2013 16:02:33 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1386153162-11225-2-git-send-email-khandual@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1386153162-11225-1-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.
