[PATCH] perf/x86/intel/ds: Fix the conversion from TSC to perf time

[kan.liang@linux.intel.com]

From: Kan Liang <kan.liang@linux.intel.com>

The time order is incorrect when the TSC in a PEBS record is used.

 $perf record -e cycles:upp dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null
  count=10000
 $ perf script --show-task-events
       perf-exec     0     0.000000: PERF_RECORD_COMM: perf-exec:915/915
              dd   915   106.479872: PERF_RECORD_COMM exec: dd:915/915
              dd   915   106.483270: PERF_RECORD_EXIT(915:915):(914:914)
              dd   915   106.512429:          1 cycles:upp:
 ffffffff96c011b7 [unknown] ([unknown])
 ... ...

The perf time is from sched_clock_cpu(). The current PEBS code
unconditionally convert the TSC to native_sched_clock(). There is a
shift between the two clocks. If the TSC is stable, the shift is
consistent, __sched_clock_offset. If the TSC is unstable, the shift has
to be calculated at runtime.

The TSC unstable case seems to be some corner cases (e.g., due to broken
BIOS). This patch doesn't support the conversion when the TSC is
unstable. The TSC in a PEBS record will be dropped and fallback to the
software perf time provided by the generic code.
