From b9511cd761faafca7a1acc059e792c1399f9d7c6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Adrian Hunter Date: Fri, 16 Oct 2015 16:24:05 +0300 Subject: perf/x86: Fix time_shift in perf_event_mmap_page Commit: b20112edeadf ("perf/x86: Improve accuracy of perf/sched clock") allowed the time_shift value in perf_event_mmap_page to be as much as 32. Unfortunately the documented algorithms for using time_shift have it shifting an integer, whereas to work correctly with the value 32, the type must be u64. In the case of perf tools, Intel PT decodes correctly but the timestamps that are output (for example by perf script) have lost 32-bits of granularity so they look like they are not changing at all. Fix by limiting the shift to 31 and adjusting the multiplier accordingly. Also update the documentation of perf_event_mmap_page so that new code based on it will be more future-proof.
