powerpc/perf: Fix setting of "to" addresses for BHRB
Currently we only set the "to" address in the branch stack when the CPU explicitly gives us a value. Unfortunately it only does this for XL form branches (eg blr, bctr, bctar) and not I and B form branches (eg b, bc). Fortunately if we read the instruction from memory we can extract the offset of a branch and calculate the target address. This adds a function power_pmu_bhrb_to() to calculate the target/to address of the corresponding I and B form branches. It handles branches in both user and kernel spaces. It also plumbs this into the perf brhb reading code. Signed-off-by: Michael Neuling <mikey@neuling.org> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
