Subject: [PATCH V4 01/13] perf/core: Add new branch sample type for LBR TOS
Date:   Tue, 19 Nov 2019 06:33:59 -0800
Message-Id: <20191119143411.3482-2-kan.liang@linux.intel.com>
In-Reply-To: <20191119143411.3482-1-kan.liang@linux.intel.com>
References: <20191119143411.3482-1-kan.liang@linux.intel.com>
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

From: Kan Liang <kan.liang@linux.intel.com>

In LBR call stack mode, the depth of reconstructed LBR call stack limits
to the number of LBR registers. With LBR Top-of-Stack (TOS) information,
perf tool may stitch the stacks of two samples. The reconstructed LBR
call stack can break the HW limitation.

Add a new branch sample type to retrieve LBR TOS. The new type is PMU
specific. Add it at the end of enum perf_branch_sample_type.
Add a macro to retrieve defined bits of branch sample type.
Update perf_copy_attr() to handle the new bit.

Only when the new branch sample type is set, the TOS information is
dumped into the PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK output.
Perf tool should check the attr.branch_sample_type, and apply the
corresponding format for PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK samples.
Otherwise, some user case may be broken. For example, users may parse a
perf.data, which include the new branch sample type, with an old version
perf tool (without the check). Users probably get incorrect information
without any warning.
