[PATCH 4.14 09/79] perf intel-pt: Fix sample instruction bytes

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

From: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@xxxxxxxxx>

commit c954eb72b31a9dc56c99b450253ec5b121add320 upstream.

The decoder reports the current instruction if it was decoded. In some
cases the current instruction is not decoded, in which case the instruction
bytes length must be set to zero. Ensure that is always done.

Note perf script can anyway get the instruction bytes for any samples where
they are not present.

Also note, that there is a redundant "ptq->insn_len = 0" statement which is
not removed until a subsequent patch in order to make this patch apply
cleanly to stable branches.

Example:

A machne that supports TSX is required. It will have flag "rtm". Kernel
parameter tsx=on may be required.

 # for w in `cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep -m1 flags `;do echo $w | grep rtm ; done
 rtm

Test program:

 #include <stdio.h>
 #include <immintrin.h>

 int main()
 {
        int x = 0;

        if (_xbegin() == _XBEGIN_STARTED) {
                x = 1;
                _xabort(1);
        } else {
                printf("x = %d\n", x);
        }
        return 0;
 }

Compile with -mrtm i.e.

 gcc -Wall -Wextra -mrtm xabort.c -o xabort

Record:

 perf record -e intel_pt/cyc/u --filter 'filter main @ ./xabort' ./xabort

Before:

 # perf script --itrace=xe -F+flags,+insn,-period --xed --ns
          xabort  1478 [007] 92161.431348581:   transactions:   x                              400b81 main+0x14 (/root/xabort)          mov $0xffffffff, %eax
          xabort  1478 [007] 92161.431348624:   transactions:   tx abrt                        400b93 main+0x26 (/root/xabort)          mov $0xffffffff, %eax

After:

 # perf script --itrace=xe -F+flags,+insn,-period --xed --ns
          xabort  1478 [007] 92161.431348581:   transactions:   x                              400b81 main+0x14 (/root/xabort)          xbegin 0x6
          xabort  1478 [007] 92161.431348624:   transactions:   tx abrt                        400b93 main+0x26 (/root/xabort)          xabort $0x1
