[PATCH 13/25] perf intel-pt: Use FUP always when scanning for an IP

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Date: Wed Jun 21 2017 - 14:06:46 EST


From: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@xxxxxxxxx>

The decoder will try to use branch packets to find an IP to start decoding
or to recover from errors. Currently the FUP packet is used only in the
case of an overflow, however there is no reason for that to be a special
case. So just use FUP always when scanning for an IP.
