I have been looking at those patches and ran some tests.
And I found a few issues so far.

I am running:
$ perf record -j any_ret -e cycles:u test_program
$ perf report -D

Most entries are okay and match the filter, however some do not make sense:

3642586996762 0x15d0 [0x108]: PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE(IP, 2): 17921/17921:
0x10001170 period: 613678 addr: 0
.... branch stack: nr:9
..... 0: 00000000100011cc -> 0000000010000e38
..... 1: 0000000010001150 -> 00000000100011bc
..... 2: 0000000010001208 -> 0000000010000e38
..... 3: 0000000010001160 -> 00000000100011f8
..... 4: 00000000100011cc -> 0000000010000e38
..... 5: 0000000010001150 -> 00000000100011bc
..... 6: 0000000010001208 -> 0000000010000e38
..... 7: 0000000010001160 -> 00000000100011f8
..... 8: 0000000000000000 -> 0000000010001160
^^^^^^
Entry 8 does not make sense, unless 0x0 is a valid return branch
instruction address.
If an address is invalid, the whole entry needs to be eliminated. It
is okay to have
less than the max number of entries supported by HW.

I also had cases where monitoring only at the user level, got me
branch addresses in the
0xc0000000...... range. My test program is linked statically.

when eliminating the bogus entries, my tests yielded only return
branch instruction addresses
which is good. Will run more tests.
