[PATCH 52/85] perf cs-etm: Add notion of time to decoding code
From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Date: Tue Jun 11 2019 - 15:07:52 EST
From: Mathieu Poirier <mathieu.poirier@xxxxxxxxxx>
This patch deals with timestamp packets received from the decoding
library in order to give the front end packet processing loop a handle
on the time instruction conveyed by range packets have been executed at.
