+ * When sampling the branck stack in system-wide, it may be necessary

+ * Otherwise it becomes impossible to associate a branch entry with a
+ * task. This ambiguity is more likely to appear when the branch stack
+ * supports priv level filtering and the user sets it to monitor only
+ * at the user level (which could be a useful measurement in system-wide
+ * mode). In that case, the risk is high of having a branch stack with
+ * branch from multiple tasks. Flushing may mean dropping the existing
+ * entries or stashing them somewhere in the PMU specific code layer.

+ * This function provides the context switch callback to the lower code

+ * with at least one active event using taken branch sampling.
