[PATCH 5/6] perf tools: Add branch event knob
From: kan . liang
Date: Mon Apr 10 2023 - 16:44:28 EST
From: Kan Liang <kan.liang@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Add a new branch filter for the branch event option. If the legacy
kernel doesn't support the branch sample type, switching off the branch
event filter.
The new branch event information should be dumped with other branch
information via perf report -D.
Extend the struct branch_flags and evsel__bitfield_swap_branch_flags()
to support the new field.
