The type of task_ctx is hardcoded as struct x86_perf_task_context, which doesn't apply for Architecture LBR. For example, Architecture LBR doesn't have the TOS MSR. The number of LBR entries is variable. A new struct will be introduced for Architecture LBR. Perf has to determine the type of task_ctx at run time. The type of task_ctx pointer is changed to 'void *', which will be determined at run time. The generic LBR optimization can be shared between Architecture LBR and model-specific LBR. Both need to access the structure for the generic LBR optimization. A helper task_context_opt() is introduced to retrieve the pointer of the structure at run time.

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.
