@ -397,6 +397,9 @@ following filters are defined:
- abort_tx: only when the target is a hardware transaction abort
- cond: conditional branches
- save_type: save branch type during sampling in case binary is not available later
For the platforms with Intel Arch LBR support (12th-Gen+ client or
4th-Gen Xeon+ server), the save branch type is unconditionally enabled
when the taken branch stack sampling is enabled.

The option requires at least one branch type among any, any_call, any_ret, ind_call, cond.
