Subject[PATCH v2 2/5] perf/x86/intel: Record branch type
Date
Perf already has support for disassembling the branch instruction
and using the branch type for filtering. The patch just records
the branch type in perf_branch_entry.

Before recording, the patch converts the x86 branch classification
to common branch classification and compute for checking if the
branches cross 4K or 2MB areas. It's an approximate computing for
crossing 4K page or 2MB page.
