[PATCH 5/9] perf evsel: Add support for synthesized branch stack sample type

From: Adrian Hunter
Date: Wed Apr 29 2020 - 11:08:02 EST


Allow for a synthesized branch stack to be added to samples. As with
synthesized call chains, the sample type cannot be changed because it is
needed to continue to parse events. So add and use helper function
evsel__has_br_stack() to indicate a branch stack, whether original or
synthesized.
