[PATCH V2] perf test: Basic branch counter support
Posted by kan.liang@linux.intel.com 2 years, 1 month ago 
From: Kan Liang <kan.liang@linux.intel.com>

Add a basic test for the branch counter feature.

The test verifies that
- The new filter can be successfully applied on the supported platforms.
- The counter value can be outputted via the perf report -D

Signed-off-by: Kan Liang <kan.liang@linux.intel.com>
---

Changes since V2:
- Update the output msg for the skipped case (Ian)
