From 32b6e8c96f1263c2232cf0c21a16525dff7d1189 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Adrian Hunter Date: Mon, 25 Mar 2019 15:51:35 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] perf intel-pt: Fix TSC slip commit f3b4e06b3bda759afd042d3d5fa86bea8f1fe278 upstream. A TSC packet can slip past MTC packets so that the timestamp appears to go backwards. One estimate is that can be up to about 40 CPU cycles, which is certainly less than 0x1000 TSC ticks, but accept slippage an order of magnitude more to be on the safe side.
