<content type='text'>
The sample timestamp is updated to ensure that the timestamp represents
the time of the sample and not a branch that the decoder is still
walking towards. The sample timestamp is updated when the decoder
returns, but the decoder does not return for non-taken branches. Update
the sample timestamp then also.

Note that commit 3f04d98e972b5 ("perf intel-pt: Improve sample
timestamp") was also a stable fix and appears, for example, in v4.4
stable tree as commit a4ebb58fd124 ("perf intel-pt: Improve sample

<id>urn:sha1:61b6e08dc8e3ea80b7485c9b3f875ddd45c8466b</id>
<content type='text'>
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.

The intel_pt_sample_time() function decides which is which, but was not
handling TNT packets exactly correctly.

In the case of TNT, the timestamp applies to the first branch, so the
decoder must first walk to that branch.

That means intel_pt_sample_time() should return true for TNT, and this
patch makes that change. However, if the first branch is a non-taken
branch (i.e. a 'N'), then intel_pt_sample_time() needs to return false
for subsequent taken branches in the same TNT packet.

To handle that, introduce a new state INTEL_PT_STATE_TNT_CONT to
distinguish the cases.

Note that commit 3f04d98e972b5 ("perf intel-pt: Improve sample
timestamp") was also a stable fix and appears, for example, in v4.4
stable tree as commit a4ebb58fd124 ("perf intel-pt: Improve sample

<title>perf intel-pt: Fix instructions sampling rate</title>

<id>urn:sha1:7ba8fa20e26eb3c0c04d747f7fd2223694eac4d5</id>
<content type='text'>
The timestamp used to determine if an instruction sample is made, is an
estimate based on the number of instructions since the last known
timestamp. A consequence is that it might go backwards, which results in
extra samples. Change it so that a sample is only made when the
timestamp goes forwards.

Note this does not affect a sampling period of 0 or sampling periods
specified as a count of instructions.

Example:

 Before:

 $ perf script --itrace=i10us
 ls 13812 [003] 2167315.222583:       3270 instructions:u:      7fac71e2e494 __GI___tunables_init+0xf4 (/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-2.28.so)

<content type='text'>
A TSC packet can slip past MTC packets so that the timestamp appears to
go backwards. One estimate is that can be up to about 40 CPU cycles,
which is certainly less than 0x1000 TSC ticks, but accept slippage an
order of magnitude more to be on the safe side.

Data is copied when the trace is stopped, so packets are never split
between buffers except when processing if the buffer cannot fit in the
address space which can only happen on 32-bit systems. Change the logic
to reflect that.

<content type='text'>
CYC packet timestamp calculation depends upon CBR which was being
cleared upon overflow (OVF). That can cause errors due to failing to
synchronize with sideband events. Even if a CBR change has been lost,
the old CBR is still a better estimate than zero. So remove the clearing
of CBR.
