[PATCH 1/2] perf: Add more generic branch types

From: Anshuman Khandual
Date: Fri Jan 28 2022 - 00:44:28 EST


This expands generic branch type classification by adding some more entries
, that can still be represented with the existing 4 bit 'type' field. While
here this also updates the x86 implementation with these new branch types.
