[PATCH V4 5/7] arm64/perf: Drive BRBE from perf event states

From: Anshuman Khandual
Date: Mon Oct 17 2022 - 01:58:45 EST


Branch stack sampling rides along the normal perf event and all the branch
records get captured during the PMU interrupt. This just changes perf event
handling on the arm64 platform to accommodate required BRBE operations that
will enable branch stack sampling support.
