    Subject[PATCH v1 4/5] perf cs-etm: Generate branch sample for exception packet
    Date
    The exception packet appears as one element with 'elem_type' ==
    OCSD_GEN_TRC_ELEM_EXCEPTION or OCSD_GEN_TRC_ELEM_EXCEPTION_RET,
    which present for exception entry and exit respectively. The decoder
    set packet fields 'packet->exc' and 'packet->exc_ret' to indicate the
    exception packets; but exception packets don't have dedicated sample
    type and shares the same sample type CS_ETM_RANGE with normal
    instruction packets.

    As result, the exception packets are taken as normal instruction packets
    and this introduces confusion to mix different packet types.
    Furthermore, these instruction range packets will be processed for
    branch sample only when 'packet->last_instr_taken_branch' is true,
    otherwise they will be omitted, this can introduce mess for exception
    and exception returning due we don't have complete address range info
    for context switching.

    To process exception packets properly, this patch introduce two new
    sample type: CS_ETM_EXCEPTION and CS_ETM_EXCEPTION_RET; for these two
    kind packets, they will be handled by cs_etm__exception(). The func
    cs_etm__exception() forces to set previous CS_ETM_RANGE packet flag
    'prev_packet->last_instr_taken_branch' to true, this matches well with
    the program flow when the exception is trapped from user space to kernel
    space, no matter if the most recent flow has branch taken or not; this
    is also safe for returning to user space after exception handling.

    After exception packets have their own sample type, the packet fields
    'packet->exc' and 'packet->exc_ret' aren't needed anymore, so remove
    them.
