[PATCH 05/12] perf_events: add LBR mappings for PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH filters

From: Stephane Eranian
Date: Thu Oct 06 2011 - 10:52:20 EST


This patch adds the mappings from the generic PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_*
filters to the actual Intel X86 LBR filters, whenever they exist.

The patch also adds a restriction on Intel Atom, whereby only
stepping 10 (PineView) and more recent are supported. Older models,
do not have a functional LBR (does not freeze on PMU interrupt).
