[PATCH] perf/arm64: fix mapping for HW_BRANCH_INSTRUCTIONS on PMUv3

From: Stephane Eranian
Date: Fri Feb 04 2022 - 02:40:03 EST


With the existing code, the following command:

$ perf stat -e branches sleep 0
Performance counter stats for 'sleep 0':
<not supported> branches

on N1 core (pmuv3).

This is due to the fact that the mapping for the generic event is wrong.
It is using ARMV8_PMUV3_PERFCTR_PC_WRITE_RETIRED which is not implemented
on N1 (and most likely on any PMUv3 implementations). However, there is
another supported event ARMV8_PMUV3_PERFCTR_BR_RETIRED measuring the same
condition.

This patch switches the mapping to ARMV8_PMUV3_PERFCTR_BR_RETIRED so that
the perf stat command above works.
