[PATCH 4/5] x86, perf: Add conditional branch filtering support

From: Anshuman Khandual
Date: Wed May 22 2013 - 02:24:27 EST


From: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@xxxxxxxxx>

This patch adds conditional branch filtering support,
enabling it for PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_COND in perf branch
stack sampling framework by utilizing an available
software filter X86_BR_JCC.
