Jacek Tomaka 16160c1946 perf/x86/intel: Add support/quirk for the MISPREDICT bit on Knights Landing CPUs 
Problem: perf did not show branch predicted/mispredicted bit in brstack.

Output of perf -F brstack for profile collected

Cause:

As mentioned in Software Development Manual vol 3, 17.4.8.1,
IA32_PERF_CAPABILITIES[5:0] indicates the format of the address that is
stored in the LBR stack. Knights Landing reports 1 (LBR_FORMAT_LIP) as
its format. Despite that, registers containing FROM address of the branch,
do have MISPREDICT bit but because of the format indicated in
IA32_PERF_CAPABILITIES[5:0], LBR did not read MISPREDICT bit.

Solution:

Teach LBR about above Knights Landing quirk and make it read MISPREDICT bit.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
