[PATCH 1/2] perf intel-pt: Fix estimated timestamps for cycle-accurate mode

[Adrian Hunter]

In cycle-accurate mode, timestamps can be calculated from CYC packets. The
decoder also estimates timestamps based on the number of instructions since
the last timestamp. For that to work in cycle-accurate mode, the
instruction count needs to be reset to zero when a timestamp is calculated
from a CYC packet, but that wasn't happening, so fix it.

[PATCH 2/2] perf intel-pt: Fix MTC timestamp calculation for large MTC periods

[Adrian Hunter]

The MTC packet provides a 8-bit slice of CTC which is related to TSC by the
TMA packet, however the TMA packet only provides the lower 16 bits of CTC.
If mtc_shift > 8 then some of the MTC bits are not in the CTC provided by
the TMA packet. Fix-up the last_mtc calculated from the TMA packet by
copying the missing bits from the current MTC assuming the least difference
between the two, and that the current MTC comes after last_mtc.
