From: Kan Liang <kan.li...@intel.com>
An earlier kernel patch allowed enabling PT and LBR at the same
time on Goldmont.
commit ccbebba4c6bf ("perf/x86/intel/pt: Bypass PT vs. LBR
exclusivity if the core supports it")
However, users still cannot use Intel PT and LBRs simultaneously.
$ sudo perf record -e cycles,intel_pt//u -b -- sleep 1
Error:
PMU Hardware doesn't support sampling/overflow-interrupts.
PT implicitly adds dummy event in perf tool. dummy event is
software event which doesn't support LBR.
Always setting branch_type=no for dummy event in Intel PT.
