[PATCH 15/16] perf intel-pt: Enable decoder to handle TIP.PGD with missing IP

From: Adrian Hunter
Date: Fri Sep 23 2016 - 10:44:32 EST


When address filters are used, the decoder must detect the end of a filter
region (or a branch into a tracestop region) by matching Packet Generation
Disabled (TIP.PGD) packets against the object code using the IP given in
the packet. However, due to errata SKL014 "Intel PT TIP.PGD May Not Have
Target IP Payload", that IP may not be present.

Enable the decoder to handle that by adding a new callback function
'pgd_ip()' which indicates whether the IP is not traced, in which case that
is the point where the trace was disabled.
