Subject[PATCH] powerpc, perf: Clear out branch entries to avoid any previous stale values
Date
The 'to' field inside branch entries might contain stale values from previous
PMU interrupt instances which had indirect branches. So clear all the values
before reading a fresh set of BHRB entries after a PMU interrupt.
