CPUID.(EAX=07H, ECX=0):EDX[19] indicates whether an Intel CPU supports Architectural LBRs. The "X86_FEATURE_..., word 18" is already mirrored from CPUID "0x00000007:0 (EDX)". Add X86_FEATURE_ARCH_LBR under the "word 18" section. The feature will appear as "arch_lbr" in /proc/cpuinfo. The Architectural Last Branch Records (LBR) feature enables recording of software path history by logging taken branches and other control flows. The feature will be supported in the perf_events subsystem.

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.
