Subject[PATCH v3 04/14] perf, x86: Basic Haswell LBR call stack support
Date
Haswell has a new feature that utilizes the existing LBR facility to
record call chains. To enable this feature, bits (JCC, NEAR_IND_JMP,
NEAR_REL_JMP, FAR_BRANCH, EN_CALLSTACK) in LBR_SELECT must be set to 1,
bits (NEAR_REL_CALL, NEAR-IND_CALL, NEAR_RET) must be cleared. Due to
a hardware bug of Haswell, this feature doesn't work well with
FREEZE_LBRS_ON_PMI.

When the call stack feature is enabled, the LBR stack will capture
unfiltered call data normally, but as return instructions are executed,
the last captured branch record is flushed from the on-chip registers
in a last-in first-out (LIFO) manner. Thus, branch information relative
to leaf functions will not be captured, while preserving the call stack
information of the main line execution path.
