Adrian Hunter cc8893814f perf intel-pt: Fix instructions sampling rate 
commit 7ba8fa20e2 upstream.

The timestamp used to determine if an instruction sample is made, is an
estimate based on the number of instructions since the last known
timestamp. A consequence is that it might go backwards, which results in
extra samples. Change it so that a sample is only made when the
timestamp goes forwards.

Note this does not affect a sampling period of 0 or sampling periods
specified as a count of instructions.

Example:

 Before:

 $ perf script --itrace=i10us
 ls 13812 [003] 2167315.222583:       3270 instructions:u:      7fac71e2e494 __GI___tunables_init+0xf4 (/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-2.28.so)
 ls 13812 [003] 2167315.222667:      30902 instructions:u:      7fac71e2da0f _dl_cache_libcmp+0x2f (/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-2.28.so)
 ls 13812 [003] 2167315.222667:         10 instructions:u:      7fac71e2d9ff _dl_cache_libcmp+0x1f (/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-2.28.so)
 ls 13812 [003] 2167315.222667:          8 instructions:u:      7fac71e2d9ea _dl_cache_libcmp+0xa (/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-2.28.so)
 ls 13812 [003] 2167315.222667:         14 instructions:u:      7fac71e2d9ea _dl_cache_libcmp+0xa (/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-2.28.so)
 ls 13812 [003] 2167315.222667:          6 instructions:u:      7fac71e2d9ff _dl_cache_libcmp+0x1f (/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-2.28.so)
 ls 13812 [003] 2167315.222667:         14 instructions:u:      7fac71e2d9ff _dl_cache_libcmp+0x1f (/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-2.28.so)
 ls 13812 [003] 2167315.222667:          4 instructions:u:      7fac71e2dab2 _dl_cache_libcmp+0xd2 (/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-2.28.so)
 ls 13812 [003] 2167315.222728:      16423 instructions:u:      7fac71e2477a _dl_map_object_deps+0x1ba (/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-2.28.so)
 ls 13812 [003] 2167315.222734:      12731 instructions:u:      7fac71e27938 _dl_name_match_p+0x68 (/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-2.28.so)
 ...

 After:
 $ perf script --itrace=i10us
 ls 13812 [003] 2167315.222583:       3270 instructions:u:      7fac71e2e494 __GI___tunables_init+0xf4 (/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-2.28.so)

 ls 13812 [003] 2167315.222728:      16479 instructions:u:      7fac71e2477a _dl_map_object_deps+0x1ba (/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-2.28.so)

README 

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

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
