Subject: [V6 08/11] powerpc, lib: Add new branch analysis support functions
Date: Mon, 5 May 2014 14:39:10 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1399280953-31442-9-git-send-email-khandual@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1399280953-31442-1-git-send-email-khandual@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
Generic powerpc branch analysis support added in the code patching
library which will help the subsequent patch on SW based filtering
of branch records in perf.
Signed-off-by: Anshuman Khandual <khandual@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
