+--branch-filter::
+Enable taken branch stack sampling. Each sample captures a series of consecutive
+taken branches. The number of branches captured with each sample depends on the
+underlying hardware, the type of branches of interest, and the executed code.
+It is possible to select the types of branches captured by enabling filters. The
+following filters are defined:
+
+        - any:  any type of branches
+        - any_call: any function call or system call
+        - any_ret: any function return or system call return
+        - any_ind: any indirect branch
+        - u:  only when the branch target is at the user level
+        - k: only when the branch target is in the kernel
+        - hv: only when the target is at the hypervisor level
+
++
+The option requires at least one branch type among any, any_call, any_ret, ind_call.
+The privilege levels may be ommitted, in which case, the privilege levels of the associated
+event are applied to the branch filter. Both kernel (k) and hypervisor (hv) privilege
+levels are subject to permissions.  When sampling on multiple events, branch stack sampling
+is enabled for all the sampling events. The sampled branch type is the same for all events.
+The various filters must be specified as a comma separated list: --branch-filter any_ret,u,k
+Note that this feature may not be available on all processors.
