Subject: [PATCH 1/2] perf/x86/intel: Fix redundant branch type check in intel_pmu_lbr_filter()
Date: Tue, 14 Apr 2026 10:14:39 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260414021440.928068-1-dapeng1.mi@linux.intel.com> (raw)

In intel_pmu_lbr_filter(), the 'type' variable is bitwise ORed with
'to_plm' (which contains X86_BR_USER and/or X86_BR_KERNEL bits). Because
of this, 'type' can never equal X86_BR_NONE (0) after the assignment.

As a result, the subsequent check 'if (type == X86_BR_NONE)' is dead code
and the entries with X86_BR_NONE type would not be skipped eventually.

Correct this by masking out the X86_BR_KERNEL and X86_BR_USER bits
before performing the X86_BR_NONE comparison.
