[PATCH 6/8] perf jit: Add support for using TSC as a timestamp

From: Adrian Hunter
Date: Thu Mar 03 2016 - 06:54:52 EST


From: Adrian Hunter <ajhunter@xxxxxxxxx>

Intel PT uses TSC as a timestamp, so add support for using TSC
instead of the monotonic clock. Use of TSC is selected by
an environment variable "JITDUMP_USE_ARCH_TIMESTAMP" and flagged
in the jitdump file with flag JITDUMP_FLAGS_ARCH_TIMESTAMP.
