When improve `bpf_get_branch_snapshot()` helper, it requires passing LBR into the VM like `-cpu,host,pmu=on,lbr-fmt=0x5`. Then, in the VM, confirm the LBR is supported: ```bash root@(none):/# dmesg | grep -i lbr [ 0.394406] Performance Events: Skylake events, 32-deep LBR, full-width counters, Intel PMU driver. ``` With this commit, the VM can be created by `vmtest -k $(make -s image_name) --kvm-cpu-args 'host,pmu=on,lbr-fmt=0x5' -`.
