[PATCH 4.8 030/140] perf intel-pt: Fix estimated timestamps for cycle-accurate mode
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Wed Oct 26 2016 - 09:31:44 EST
4.8-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@xxxxxxxxx>
commit 51ee6481fa8e879cc942bcc1b0af713e158b7a98 upstream.
In cycle-accurate mode, timestamps can be calculated from CYC packets.
The decoder also estimates timestamps based on the number of
instructions since the last timestamp. For that to work in
cycle-accurate mode, the instruction count needs to be reset to zero
when a timestamp is calculated from a CYC packet, but that wasn't
happening, so fix it.
