[PATCH V5 7/8] perf/tools: Add branch privilege information request flag
From: Anshuman Khandual
Date: Mon Apr 04 2022 - 00:52:03 EST
This updates the perf tools with branch privilege information request flag
i.e PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_PRIV_SAVE that has been added earlier in the kernel.
This also updates 'perf record' documentation, branch_modes[], and generic
branch privilege level enumeration as added earlier in the kernel.
