Subject[PATCH v1 1/2] perf report: Check for fused instruction pair
Date
Macro fusion merges two instructions to a single micro-op. Intel
core platform performs this hardware optimization under limited
circumstances. For example, CMP + JCC can be "fused" and executed
/retired together. While with sampling this can result in the
sample sometimes being on the JCC and sometimes on the CMP.
So for the fused instruction pair, they could be considered
together.

In general, the fused instruction pairs are:

cmp/test/add/sub/and/inc/dec + jcc.

This patch adds a new function which checks if 2 x86 instructions
are in a "fused" pair. For non-x86 arch, the function just returns
false.
