From 44175993efbae04e8b2d7f7795ff512c3a726db0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stephane Eranian Date: Tue, 22 Mar 2022 15:15:08 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] perf/x86/amd: Add branch-brs helper event for Fam19h BRS Add a pseudo event called branch-brs to help use the FAM Fam19h Branch Sampling feature (BRS). BRS samples taken branches, so it is best used when sampling on a retired taken branch event (0xc4) which is what BRS captures. Instead of trying to remember the event code or actual event name, users can simply do: $ perf record -b -e cpu/branch-brs/ -c 1000037 .....
