When perf.data file is obtained using 'perf record -b', perf report
should use branch stack mode to generate output. But this function is
broken by improper comparison between boolean and constant -1.
before this patch:
$ perf report -b -i perf.data
Samples: 16 of event 'cycles', Event count (approx.): 3171896
Overhead Command Shared Object Symbol
13.59% ls [kernel.kallsyms] [k] prio_tree_remove
13.16% ls [kernel.kallsyms] [k] change_pte_range
12.09% ls [kernel.kallsyms] [k] page_fault
12.02% ls [kernel.kallsyms] [k] zap_pte_range
...
after this patch:
$ perf report -b -i perf.data
Samples: 256 of event 'cycles', Event count (approx.): 256
Overhead Command Source Shared Object Source Symbol
Target Shared Object Target Symbol
9.38% ls [unknown] [k] 0000000000000000
[unknown] [k] 0000000000000000
6.25% ls libc-2.19.so [.] _dl_addr

6.25% ls [kernel.kallsyms] [k] zap_pte_range

[kernel.kallsyms] [k] change_pte_range
0.39% ls [kernel.kallsyms] [k] prio_tree_remove
[kernel.kallsyms] [k] prio_tree_remove
