Tested on Juno-r2 for this series:
# /mnt/build/perf record -e cs_etm/timestamp=1,ts_level=15/ -- ls
# /mnt/build/perf script -D | grep I_TIMESTAMP | wc
1305 11745 83337
# /mnt/build/perf record -e cs_etm/timestamp=1,ts_level=0/ -- ls
# /mnt/build/perf script -D | grep I_TIMESTAMP | wc
120668 1086012 7705024
We can see a small counter (2 ^ 0 = 1) that records significant
timestamp packets.
