2015-10-20perf record: Add ability to sample call branchesStephane Eranian
This patch add a new branch type sampling filter to perf record. It is named 'call' and maps to PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_CALL. It samples direct call branches only, unlike 'any_call' which includes indirect calls as well. $ perf record -j call -e cycles ..... The man page is updated accordingly.

2015-06-07perf record: Add support for sampling indirect jumpsStephane Eranian
This patch adds a new branch sampling type support for indirect jumps: perf record -j ind_jmp ....... It enables analysis of indirect jumps targets. It requires kernel and possibly hardware support to operate correctly.
