[PATCH 2/5] perf/x86/intel/pt: Untangle pt_buffer_reset_markers()

From: Alexander Shishkin
Date: Tue Apr 21 2015 - 09:18:09 EST


Currently, pt_buffer_reset_markers() is a difficult to read knot of
arithmetics with a redundant check for multiple-entry topa capability,
a commented out wakeup marker placement and a logical error wrt to
stop marker placement. The latter happens when write head is not page
aligned and results in stop marker being placed one page earlier than
it actually should.

All these problems only affect PT implementations that support
multiple-entry topa tables (read: proper sg). For single-entry topa
implementations, there is no functional impact.

This patch deals with all of the above. Tested on both single-entry
and multiple-entry topa PT implementations.
