[PATCH v3 04/12] perf jevents: Add br metric group for branch statistics on AMD

From: Ian Rogers
Date: Thu Mar 14 2024 - 02:00:23 EST


The br metric group for branches itself comprises metric groups for
total, taken, conditional, fused and far metric groups using json
events. The lack of conditional events on anything but zen2 means this
category is lacking on zen1, zen3 and zen4.
