[RFC PATCH 2/5] perf cs-etm: Only search timestamp in current sample's queue.

James Clark james.clark at arm.com
Tue Feb 9 04:58:54 EST 2021


Change initial timestamp search to only operate on the queue
related to the current event. In a later change the bounds
of the aux record will also be used to reset the decoder and
the record is only relevant to a single queue.

This doesn't work --per-thread mode where cpu == -1 so
a further change will be required.

Also this change makes some files that had coresight data
but didn't syntesise any events start working and generating
events. I'm not sure of the reason for that. I'd expect this
change to only affect the ordering of events.
