[PATCH V5 6/8] perf/tools: Extend branch type classification

From: Anshuman Khandual
Date: Mon Apr 04 2022 - 00:51:54 EST


This updates the perf tool with generic branch type classification with new
ABI extender place holder i.e PERF_BR_EXTEND_ABI, the new 4 bit branch type
field i.e perf_branch_entry.new_type, new generic page fault related branch
types and some arch specific branch types as added earlier in the kernel.
