3. Use 2 bits in perf_branch_entry for a "cross" metrics checkinggot mangled perf report --stdio output for:
for branch cross 4K or 2M area. It's an approximate computing
for checking if the branch cross 4K page or 2MB page.
For example:
perf record -g --branch-filter any,save_type <command>
perf report --stdio

Sorry, I look at this issue at midnight in Shanghai. I misunderstood that the above output was only a mail format issue. Sorry about that.
Now I recheck the output, and yes, the perf report output is mangled. But my patch doesn't touch the associated code.
Anyway I remove my patches, pull the latest update from perf/core branch and run tests to check if its a regression issue. I test on HSW and SKL both.
1. On HSW.
root@hsw:/tmp# perf record -j any kill
...... /* SNIP */
For more details see kill(1).
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.014 MB perf.data (9 samples) ]
root@hsw:/tmp# perf report --stdio

The issue is still there.
2. On SKL

The issue is there too.
Now it works without my patch and it runs with latest perf/core branch. So it looks like a regression issue.
Thanks
