We want a way for users of EBB (Event Based Branches) to also access the BHRB (Branch History Rolling Buffer). EBB does not interoperate with our existing BHRB support, which is wired into the generic Linux branch stack sampling support. To support EBB & BHRB we add three new bits to the event code. The first bit indicates that the event wants access to the BHRB, and the other two bits indicate the desired IFM (Instruction Filtering Mode). We allow multiple events to request access to the BHRB, but they must agree on the IFM value. Events which are not interested in the BHRB can also interoperate with events which do. Finally we program the desired IFM value into MMCRA. Although we do this for every event, we know that the value will be identical for all events that request BHRB access.
