arm64: pmuv3: dynamically map PERF_COUNT_HW_BRANCH_INSTRUCTIONS
The mapping of perf_events generic hardware events to actual PMU events on
ARM PMUv3 may not always be correct. This is in particular true for the
PERF_COUNT_HW_BRANCH_INSTRUCTIONS event. Although the mapping points to an
architected event, it may not always be available. This can be seen with a
simple:
$ perf stat -e branches sleep 0
Performance counter stats for 'sleep 0':
<not supported> branches
0.001401081 seconds time elapsed
Yet the hardware does have an event that could be used for branches.
Dynamically check for a supported hardware event which can be used for
PERF_COUNT_HW_BRANCH_INSTRUCTIONS at mapping time.
And with that:
$ perf stat -e branches sleep 0
Performance counter stats for 'sleep 0':
166,739 branches
0.000832163 seconds time elapsed
