Kajol Jain 69e402a985 bpf: Remove config check to enable bpf support for branch records
[ Upstream commit db52f57211 ]

Branch data available to BPF programs can be very useful to get stack traces
out of userspace application.

Commit fff7b64355 ("bpf: Add bpf_read_branch_records() helper") added BPF
support to capture branch records in x86. Enable this feature also for other
architectures as well by removing checks specific to x86.

If an architecture doesn't support branch records, bpf_read_branch_records()
still has appropriate checks and it will return an -EINVAL in that scenario.
Based on UAPI helper doc in include/uapi/linux/bpf.h, unsupported architectures
should return -ENOENT in such case. Hence, update the appropriate check to
return -ENOENT instead.

Selftest 'perf_branches' result on power9 machine which has the branch stacks
support:

 - Before this patch:

  [command]# ./test_progs -t perf_branches
   #88/1 perf_branches/perf_branches_hw:FAIL
   #88/2 perf_branches/perf_branches_no_hw:OK
   #88 perf_branches:FAIL
  Summary: 0/1 PASSED, 0 SKIPPED, 1 FAILED

 - After this patch:

  [command]# ./test_progs -t perf_branches
   #88/1 perf_branches/perf_branches_hw:OK
   #88/2 perf_branches/perf_branches_no_hw:OK
   #88 perf_branches:OK
  Summary: 1/2 PASSED, 0 SKIPPED, 0 FAILED

Selftest 'perf_branches' result on power9 machine which doesn't have branch
stack report:

 - After this patch:

  [command]# ./test_progs -t perf_branches
   #88/1 perf_branches/perf_branches_hw:SKIP
   #88/2 perf_branches/perf_branches_no_hw:OK
   #88 perf_branches:OK
  Summary: 1/1 PASSED, 1 SKIPPED, 0 FAILED

README

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.
