perf: Disable PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_* when not supported
PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_* is disabled for: - SW events (sw counters, tracepoints) - HW breakpoints - ALL but Intel x86 architecture - AMD64 processors Signed-off-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1328826068-11713-10-git-send-email-eranian@google.com Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
