This expands generic branch type classification by adding two more entries there in i.e system error and not in transaction. This also updates the x86 implementation to process X86_BR_NO_TX records as appropriate. This changes branch types reported to user space on x86 platform but it should not be a problem. The possible scenarios and impacts are enumerated here. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | kernel | perf tool | Impact | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | old | old | Works as before | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | old | new | PERF_BR_UNKNOWN is processed | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | new | old | PERF_BR_NO_TX is blocked via old PERF_BR_MAX | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | new | new | PERF_BR_NO_TX is recognized | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- When PERF_BR_NO_TX is blocked via old PERF_BR_MAX (new kernel with old perf tool) the user space might throw up an warning complaining about an unrecognized branch types being reported, but it's expected. PERF_BR_SERROR & PERF_BR_NO_TX branch types will be used for BRBE implementation on arm64 platform. PERF_BR_NO_TX complements 'abort' and 'in_tx' elements in perf_branch_entry which represent other transaction states for a given branch record. Because this completes the transaction state classification.
