Sandipan Das 245268c19f perf/x86/amd/lbr: Use fusion-aware branch classifier
AMD Last Branch Record Extension Version 2 (LbrExtV2) can report a branch
from address that points to an instruction preceding the actual branch by
several bytes due to branch fusion and further optimizations in Zen4
processors.

In such cases, software should move forward sequentially in the instruction
stream from the reported address and the address of the first branch
encountered should be used instead. Hence, use the fusion-aware branch
classifier to determine the correct branch type and get the offset for
adjusting the branch from address.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
