Platforms like arm64 could capture privilege level information for all the branch records. Hence this adds a new element in the struct branch_entry to record the privilege level information, which could be requested through a new event.attr.branch_sample_type based flag PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_PRIV_SAVE. This flag helps user choose whether privilege information is captured.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
