Adrian Hunter 61b6e08dc8 perf intel-pt: Fix improved sample timestamp
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.

The intel_pt_sample_time() function decides which is which, but was not
handling TNT packets exactly correctly.

In the case of TNT, the timestamp applies to the first branch, so the
decoder must first walk to that branch.

That means intel_pt_sample_time() should return true for TNT, and this
patch makes that change. However, if the first branch is a non-taken
branch (i.e. a 'N'), then intel_pt_sample_time() needs to return false
for subsequent taken branches in the same TNT packet.

To handle that, introduce a new state INTEL_PT_STATE_TNT_CONT to
distinguish the cases.

Note that commit 3f04d98e97 ("perf intel-pt: Improve sample
timestamp") was also a stable fix and appears, for example, in v4.4
stable tree as commit a4ebb58fd124 ("perf intel-pt: Improve sample
timestamp").

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
