[PATCH v0 3/3] perf, x86: Bypass PT vs LBR exclusivity if the core supports it

Show all headers | View raw

Not all cores prevent using Intel PT and LBRs simultaneously, although
most of them still do as of today. This patch adds an opt-in flag for
such cores to disable mutual exclusivity between PT and LBR; also flip
it on for Goldmont.
