[PATCH 09/25] perf report: Adjust sample type validation for synthesized branch stacks

Show all headers | View raw

perf report looks at event sample types to determine if branch stacks have
been sampled.  Adjust the validation to know about instruction tracing
options.

This change allows the use of the -b option which otherwise would complain
with an error like:

	Error:
	Selected -b but no branch data. Did you call perf record without -b?
	# To display the perf.data header info,
	# please use --header/--header-only options.
	#
