[Patch v5 05/18] perf/x86: Add lbr_enabled to track LBR state
From: Dapeng Mi
Date: Thu Oct 29 2026 - 00:52:08 EST
Add a lbr_enabled flag to track whether LBR is enabled. This will be
used by a subsequent change to avoid blindly re-enabling LBR in
perf_snapshot_branch_stack() without checking whether LBR has already
been disabled.
Fixes: c22ac2a3d4bd ("perf: Enable branch record for software events")
Fixes: a4d18112e531 ("perf/x86/amd: Support capturing LBR from software events")
