[PATCH V9 08/10] arm64/perf: Add struct brbe_regset helper functions

From: Anshuman Khandual
Date: Wed Mar 15 2023 - 01:21:10 EST


The primary abstraction level for fetching branch records from BRBE HW has
been changed as 'struct brbe_regset', which contains storage for all three
BRBE registers i.e BRBSRC, BRBTGT, BRBINF. Whether branch record processing
happens in the task sched out path, or in the PMU IRQ handling path, these
registers need to be extracted from the HW. Afterwards both live and stored
sets need to be stitched together to create final branch records set. This
adds required helper functions for such operations.
