Change Intel PT's branch stack support to use thread stacks. The
advantages of using branch stack support from the thread-stack are:
1. the branches are accumulated separately for each thread
2. the branch stack is cleared only in between continuous traces
This helps pave the way for adding branch stacks to regular events, not
just synthesized events as at present.
While the 2 approaches are not identical, in simple cases the results
can be identical e.g.
Before:
# perf record --kcore -e intel_pt// uname
# perf script --itrace=i10usl -F+brstacksym,+addr,+flags > cmp1.txt
After:
# perf script --itrace=i10usl -F+brstacksym,+addr,+flags > cmp2.txt
# diff -s cmp1.txt cmp2.txt
Files cmp1.txt and cmp2.txt are identical

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.
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.
