This updates the perf tool with generic branch type classification with new
ABI extender place holder i.e PERF_BR_EXTEND_ABI, the new 4 bit branch type
field i.e perf_branch_entry.new_type, new generic page fault related branch
types and some arch specific branch types as added earlier in the kernel.
Committer note:
Add an extra entry to the branch_type_name array to cope with
PERF_BR_EXTEND_ABI, to address build warnings on some compiler/systems,
like:

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.
