This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled perf branch: Fix interpretation of branch records to the 6.1-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: perf-branch-fix-interpretation-of-branch-records.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.1 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 9dcae7d2fc4c16ba1245a5e1b9d18d8c7639a57f Author: James Clark <james.clark@xxxxxxx> Date: Wed Nov 30 16:51:58 2022 +0000 perf branch: Fix interpretation of branch records [ Upstream commit 20ed9fa4965875fdde5bfd65d838465e38d46b22 ] Commit 93315e46b000fc80 ("perf/core: Add speculation info to branch entries") added a new field in between type and new_type. Perf has its own copy of this struct so update it to match the kernel side. This doesn't currently cause any issues because new_type is only used by the Arm BRBE driver which isn't merged yet. Committer notes: Is this really an ABI? How are we supposed to deal with old perf.data files with new tools and vice versa? :-\ Fixes: 93315e46b000fc80 ("perf/core: Add speculation info to branch entries") Reviewed-by: Anshuman Khandual <anshuman.khandual@xxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: James Clark <james.clark@xxxxxxx> Acked-by: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Alexander Shishkin <alexander.shishkin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@xxxxxxx> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Sandipan Das <sandipan.das@xxxxxxx> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20221130165158.517385-1-james.clark@xxxxxxx Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sashal@xxxxxxxxxx> diff --git a/tools/perf/util/branch.h b/tools/perf/util/branch.h index f838b23db180..dca75cad96f6 100644 --- a/tools/perf/util/branch.h +++ b/tools/perf/util/branch.h @@ -24,9 +24,10 @@ struct branch_flags { u64 abort:1; u64 cycles:16; u64 type:4; + u64 spec:2; u64 new_type:4; u64 priv:3; - u64 reserved:33; + u64 reserved:31; }; }; };
