For Intel LBR, the LBR Top-of-Stack (TOS) information is the HW index of raw branch record for the most recent branch. For non-adaptive PEBS and non-PEBS, the TOS information can be directly retrieved from TOS MSR read in intel_pmu_lbr_read(). For adaptive PEBS, the LBR information stored in PEBS record doesn't include the TOS information. For single PEBS, TOS can be directly read from MSR, because the PMI is triggered immediately after PEBS is written. TOS MSR is still unchanged. For large PEBS, TOS MSR has stale value. Set -1ULL to indicate that the TOS information is not available.

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.
