[PATCH 37/37] perf intel-pt: Improve sample timestamp

Adrian Hunter
2017-05-19T09:01:38Z

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. Improve that situation by using the pkt_state to determine when
to use the current or previous timestamp.
