Show the branch speculation info if provided by the branch recording
hardware feature. This can be useful for optimizing code further.
The speculation info is appended to the end of the list of fields so any
existing tools that use "/" as a delimiter for access fields via an index
remain unaffected. Also show "-" instead of "N/A" when speculation info
is unavailable because "/" is used as the field separator.
E.g.
$ perf record -j any,u,save_type ./test_branch
$ perf script --fields brstacksym
Before:
[...]
check_match+0x60/strcmp+0x0/P/-/-/0/CALL
do_lookup_x+0x3c5/check_match+0x0/P/-/-/0/CALL
[...]
After:
[...]
check_match+0x60/strcmp+0x0/P/-/-/0/CALL/NON_SPEC_CORRECT_PATH
do_lookup_x+0x3c5/check_match+0x0/P/-/-/0/CALL/NON_SPEC_CORRECT_PATH
[...]
The bitfield swapping scheme used duing sample parsing has changed
because of the addition of new branch flags, namely "spec", "new_type"
and "priv". Earlier, these were all part of the "reserved" field but
now, each of these fields get swapped separately. Change the expected
flag values accordingly for the test to pass.
E.g.
$ perf test -v 27
Before:
27: Sample parsing :
--- start ---
test child forked, pid 61979
parsing failed for sample_type 0x800
test child finished with -1
---- end ----
Sample parsing: FAILED!
After:
27: Sample parsing :
--- start ---
test child forked, pid 63293
test child finished with 0
---- end ----
Sample parsing: Ok

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.
Committer note:
Add an extra entry to the branch_type_name array to cope with
PERF_BR_EXTEND_ABI, to address build warnings on some compiler/systems,
like:

This updates the perf tool with generic branch type classification with
two new branch types i.e system error (PERF_BR_SERROR) and not in
transaction (PERF_BR_NO_TX) which got updated earlier in the kernel.
This also updates corresponding branch type strings in
branch_type_name().
Committer notes:
At perf tools merge time this is only on PeterZ's tree, at:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/peterz/queue.git perf/core
So for testing one has to build a kernel with that branch, then test
the tooling side from:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux.git perf/core

This expands generic branch type classification by adding two more entries
there in i.e irq and exception return. Also updates the x86 implementation
to process X86_BR_IRET and X86_BR_IRQ records as appropriate. This changes
branch types reported to user space on x86 platform but it should not be a
problem. The possible scenarios and impacts are enumerated here.

Pruning a bit more the includes dependency tree. Building this thing on
lots of containers takes time, we better reduce the time per build, each
container is doing 6 builds when clang and clang-devel are available,
and the plan is to do a 'make -C tools/perf build-test' that have many
more.
Also helps when doing normal development, as touching some random file
will have a much reduced chance of triggering lots of rebuilds.

The mem_info struct goes to mem-events.h and branch_info goes to
branch.h, where they belong, this way we can remove several headers from
symbols.h and trim the include dependency tree more.

All we need there is a forward declaration for 'union perf_event', so
remove it from there and add missing header directives in places using

Create new util/branch.c and util/branch.h to contain the common branch
functions. Such as:
branch_type_count(): Count the numbers of branch types
branch_type_name() : Return the name of branch type
branch_type_stat_display(): Display branch type statistics info
branch_type_str(): Construct the branch type string.
The branch type is saved in branch_flags.
Change log:
v8: Change PERF_BR_NONE to PERF_BR_UNKNOWN.
v7: Since the common branch type name is changed (e.g. JCC->COND),
this patch is performed the modification accordingly.
v6: Move that multiline conditional code inside {} brackets.
Move branch_type_stat_display() from builtin-report.c to
branch.c.
Move branch_type_str() from callchain.c to branch.c.
v5: It's a new patch in v5 patch series.
