For PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK sample type, different branch_sample_type
ie branch filters are supported. The branch filters are requested via
event attribute "branch_sample_type". Multiple branch filters can be
passed in event attribute. eg:
$ perf record -b -o- -B --branch-filter any,ind_call true
None of the Power PMUs support having multiple branch filters at
the same time. Branch filters for branch stack sampling is set via MMCRA
IFM bits [32:33]. But currently when requesting for multiple filter
types, the "perf record" command does not report any error.
eg:
$ perf record -b -o- -B --branch-filter any,save_type true
$ perf record -b -o- -B --branch-filter any,ind_call true
The "bhrb_filter_map" function in PMU driver code does the validity
check for supported branch filters. But this check is done for single
filter. Hence "perf record" will proceed here without reporting any
error.
Fix power_pmu_event_init() to return EOPNOTSUPP when multiple branch
filters are requested in the event attr.
After the fix:
$ perf record --branch-filter any,ind_call -- ls
Error:
cycles: PMU Hardware doesn't support sampling/overflow-interrupts.
Try 'perf stat'
