[PATCH 6.1 098/239] perf cs-etm: Fix timeless decode mode detection

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

From: James Clark <james.clark@arm.com>

[ Upstream commit 449067f3fc9f340da54e383738286881e6634d0b ]

In this context, timeless refers to the trace data rather than the perf
event data. But when detecting whether there are timestamps in the trace
data or not, the presence of a timestamp flag on any perf event is used.

Since commit f42c0ce573df ("perf record: Always get text_poke events
with --kcore option") timestamps were added to a tracking event when
--kcore is used which breaks this detection mechanism. Fix it by
detecting if trace timestamps exist by looking at the ETM config flags.
This would have always been a more accurate way of doing it anyway.

This fixes the following error message when using --kcore with
Coresight:

  $ perf record --kcore -e cs_etm// --per-thread
  $ perf report
  The perf.data/data data has no samples!

Fixes: f42c0ce573df79d1 ("perf record: Always get text_poke events with --kcore option")
