Subject: [PATCH v4 02/11] perf/x86/lbr: Simplify the exposure check for the LBR_INFO registers
Date:   Sun, 14 Mar 2021 23:52:15 +0800

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.
