Subject: [PATCH 3/5] perf, tools: Disable branch flags/cycles for lbr call graph
Date: Wed, 27 May 2015 21:13:16 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1432786398-23861-4-git-send-email-andi@firstfloor.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1432786398-23861-1-git-send-email-andi@firstfloor.org>

From: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com>

Automatically disable collecting branch flags and cycles with
--call-graph lbr. This allows avoiding a bunch of extra MSR
reads in the PMI on Skylake.

When the kernel doesn't support the new flags they are automatically
cleared in the fallback code.
