From c9fdfa14c3792c0160849c484e83aa57afd80ccc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stephane Eranian Date: Thu, 14 May 2015 23:09:58 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] perf: add new PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_IND_JUMP branch sample type This patch adds a new branch_sample_type flag to enable filtering branch sampling to indirect jumps. The support is subject to hardware or kernel software support on each architecture. Filtering on indirect jump is useful to study the targets of the jump.
