        This patchset is the re-spin of the original branch stack sampling
patchset which introduced new PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_COND filter. This patchset
also enables SW based branch filtering support for PPC64 platforms which have
branch stack sampling support. With this new enablement, the branch filter support
for PPC64 platforms have been extended to include all these combinations discussed
below with a sample test application program.

I am trying to understand which HW has support for capturing the
branches: PPC7 or PPC8.
Then it seems you're saying that only PPC8 has the filtering support.
On PPC7 you use the
SW filter. Did I get this right?

I will look at the patch set.

Hey Stephane,

Just wondering if you got a chance to go though the patchset ?
