[PATCH 02/12] perf tools: Support PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_HW_INDEX

From: kan . liang
Date: Fri Feb 28 2020 - 11:32:20 EST


From: Kan Liang <kan.liang@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

A new branch sample type PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_HW_INDEX has been introduced
in latest kernel.

Enable HW_INDEX by default in LBR call stack mode.
If kernel doesn't support the sample type, switching it off.

Add HW_INDEX in attr_fprintf as well. User can check whether the branch
sample type is set via debug information or header.
