[PATCH 2/4] perf: Print branch stack entry type in --dump-raw-trace

From: James Clark
Date: Mon Mar 07 2022 - 12:19:38 EST


This can help with debugging issues. It only prints when -j save_type
is used otherwise an empty string is printed.

Before the change:

101603801707130 0xa70 [0x630]: PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE(IP, 0x2): 1108/1108: 0xffff9c1df24c period: 10694 addr: 0
... branch stack: nr:64
..... 0: 0000ffff9c26029c -> 0000ffff9c26f340 0 cycles P 0
..... 1: 0000ffff9c2601bc -> 0000ffff9c26f340 0 cycles P 0

After the change:

101603801707130 0xa70 [0x630]: PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE(IP, 0x2): 1108/1108: 0xffff9c1df24c period: 10694 addr: 0
... branch stack: nr:64
..... 0: 0000ffff9c26029c -> 0000ffff9c26f340 0 cycles P 0 CALL
..... 1: 0000ffff9c2601bc -> 0000ffff9c26f340 0 cycles P 0 IND_CALL
