This expands generic branch type classification by adding two more entries
there in i.e system error and not in transaction. This also updates the x86
implementation to process X86_BR_NO_TX records as appropriate. This changes
branch types reported to user space on x86 platform but it should not be a
problem. The possible scenarios and impacts are enumerated here.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| kernel | perf tool | Impact |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| old | old | Works as before |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| old | new | PERF_BR_UNKNOWN is processed |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| new | old | PERF_BR_NO_TX is blocked via old PERF_BR_MAX |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| new | new | PERF_BR_NO_TX is recognized |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
When PERF_BR_NO_TX is blocked via old PERF_BR_MAX (new kernel with old perf
tool) the user space might throw up an warning complaining about an
unrecognized branch types being reported, but it's expected. PERF_BR_SERROR
& PERF_BR_NO_TX branch types will be used for BRBE implementation on arm64
platform.
PERF_BR_NO_TX complements 'abort' and 'in_tx' elements in perf_branch_entry
which represent other transaction states for a given branch record. Because
this completes the transaction state classification.
