From 810c398bc09b2f2dfde52a7d2483a710612c5fb8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Adrian Hunter Date: Fri, 23 Sep 2016 17:38:41 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] perf intel-pt: Fix snapshot overlap detection decoder errors Fix occasional decoder errors decoding trace data collected in snapshot mode. Snapshot mode can take successive snapshots of trace which might overlap. The decoder checks whether there is an overlap but only looks at the current and previous buffer. However buffers that do not contain synchronization (i.e. PSB) packets cannot be decoded or used for overlap checking. That means the decoder actually needs to check overlaps between the current buffer and the previous buffer that contained usable data. Make that change.
