Leo Yan 73cb57f56f perf arm-spe: Add branch stack
Although Arm SPE cannot generate continuous branch records, this commit
creates a branch stack with only one branch entry.  A single branch info
can be used for performance optimization.

A branch stack structure is dynamically allocated in the decode queue.
The branch stack and stack flags are synthesized based on branch types
and associated events.

After:

  # perf script --itrace=bl1 -F flags,addr,brstack

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 reStructuredText 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.
