Re: [BUG] perf/x86/intel/pebs: PEBS timestamps overwritten

[Peter Zijlstra]

Should be 3 patches at the very least I think, the first one introducing
the new field and then follow up patches making use of it.

And yes as Ravi mentions there's the CALLCHAIN_EARLY hack that could be
cleaned up as well, making it 4 or something.

Indent fail; please add: 'set cino=(0:0' to your .vimrc or figure out
the equivalent for your editor of choice.

How about we call that 'sample_flags' instead and use PERF_SAMPLE_* as
we already have, something like so:
