Subject: [PATCH 2/4] perf intel-pt: Fix premature IPC
Date: Fri,  5 Feb 2021 19:53:48 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210205175350.23817-3-adrian.hunter@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210205175350.23817-1-adrian.hunter@intel.com>

The code assumed a change in cycle count means accurate IPC. That is not
correct, for example when sampling both branches and instructions, or at
a FUP packet (which is not CYC-eligible) address. Fix by using an explicit
flag to indicate when IPC can be sampled.

Fixes: 5b1dc0fd1da06 ("perf intel-pt: Add support for samples to contain IPC ratio")
