Subject: [PATCH] perf/x86/lbr: Simplify the exposure check for the LBR_INFO registers
Date:   Wed,  3 Feb 2021 15:03:37 +0800
Message-Id: <20210203070337.329511-1-like.xu@linux.intel.com>
MIME-Version: 1.0

Precedence: bulk

If the platform supports LBR_INFO register, the x86_pmu.lbr_info will
be assigned in intel_pmu_?_lbr_init_?() and it's safe to expose LBR_INFO
in the x86_perf_get_lbr() directly, instead of relying on lbr_format check.

Also Architectural LBR has IA32_LBR_x_INFO instead of LBR_FORMAT_INFO_x
to hold metadata for the operation, including mispredict, TSX, and
elapsed cycle time information.
