[PATCH 3/3] perf intel-pt: Fix sample timestamp wrt non-taken branches

From: Adrian Hunter
Date: Fri May 10 2019 - 08:43:21 EST


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 timestamp").
