[PATCH V7 10/17] perf, core: simplify need branch stack check

From: Kan Liang
Date: Tue Nov 04 2014 - 22:10:36 EST


From: Yan, Zheng <zheng.z.yan@xxxxxxxxx>

Using event->attr.branch_sample_type to replace
intel_pmu_needs_lbr_smpl() for avoiding duplicating code
that implicitly enables the LBR.
Currently, branch stack can be enabled by user explicitly requested
branch sampling or implicit branch sampling to correct PEBS skid.
For user explicitly requested branch sampling, the branch_sample_type is
explicitly set by user. For PEBS case, the branch_sample_type is also
implicitly set to PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_ANY in x86_pmu_hw_config.
