[PATCH V2 02/37] perf intel-pt: Improve sample timestamp

From: Adrian Hunter
Date: Fri May 26 2017 - 04:34:44 EST


The decoder uses its current timestamp in samples. Usually that is a
timestamp that has already passed, but in some cases it is a timestamp for
a branch that the decoder is walking towards, and consequently hasn't
reached. Improve that situation by using the pkt_state to determine when
to use the current or previous timestamp.
