From caff2befffe899e63df5cc760b7ed01cfd902685 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Wed, 3 Mar 2010 12:02:30 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] perf, x86: Implement simple LBR support Implement simple suport Intel Last-Branch-Record, it supports all hardware that implements FREEZE_LBRS_ON_PMI, but does not (yet) implement the LBR config register. The Intel LBR is a FIFO of From,To addresses describing the last few branches the hardware took. This patch does not add perf interface to the LBR, but merely provides an interface for internal use.
