Subject: [PATCH 3/5] perf intel-pt: Fix CYC timestamp calculation after OVF
Date: Wed,  6 Feb 2019 12:39:45 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190206103947.15750-4-adrian.hunter@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20190206103947.15750-1-adrian.hunter@intel.com>

CYC packet timestamp calculation depends upon CBR which was being
cleared upon overflow (OVF). That can cause errors due to failing to
synchronize with sideband events. Even if a CBR change has been lost,
the old CBR is still a better estimate than zero. So remove the clearing
of CBR.
