Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 9e9d0a79d3 perf test shell lbr: Support hybrid x86 systems too
Running on a:

  root@x1:~# grep 'model name' -m1 /proc/cpuinfo
  model name	: 13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-1365U
  root@x1:~#

It skips all the tests with:

  root@x1:~# perf test -vvvv LBR
   97: perf record LBR tests:
  --- start ---
  test child forked, pid 2033388
  Skip: only x86 CPUs support LBR
  ---- end(-2) ----
   97: perf record LBR tests                                           : Skip
  root@x1:~#

Because the test checks for the /sys/devices/cpu/caps/branches file,
that isn't present as we have instead:

  root@x1:~# ls -la /sys/devices/cpu*/caps/branches
  -r--r--r--. 1 root root 4096 Aug  8 11:22 /sys/devices/cpu_atom/caps/branches
  -r--r--r--. 1 root root 4096 Aug  8 11:21 /sys/devices/cpu_core/caps/branches
  root@x1:~#

If we check as well for one of those,
/sys/devices/cpu_core/caps/branches, then we don't skip the tests and
all are run on these x86 Intel Hybrid systems as well, passing all of
them:

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.
