commit 5a99d99e3310a565b0cf63f785b347be9ee0da45 upstream.

Auxtrace records might have up to 7 bytes of padding appended. Adjust
the overlap accordingly.

commit 03997612904866abe7cdcc992784ef65cb3a4b81 upstream.

CYC packet timestamp calculation depends upon CBR which was being
cleared upon overflow (OVF). That can cause errors due to failing to
synchronize with sideband events. Even if a CBR change has been lost,
the old CBR is still a better estimate than zero. So remove the clearing
of CBR.

commit 9fb523363f6e3984457fee95bb7019395384ffa7 upstream.

Some Atom CPUs can produce FUP packets that contain NLIP (next linear
instruction pointer) instead of CLIP (current linear instruction
pointer).  That will result in "Unexpected indirect branch" errors. Fix
by comparing IP to NLIP in that case.

commit dd27b87ab5fcf3ea1c060b5e3ab5d31cc78e9f4c upstream.

On some platforms, overflows will clear before MTC wraparound, and there
is no following TSC/TMA packet. In that case the previous TMA is valid.
Since there will be a valid TMA either way, stop setting 'have_tma' to
false upon overflow.

commit bd2e49ec48feb1855f7624198849eea4610e2286 upstream.

It is possible to have a CBR packet between a FUP packet and
corresponding TIP packet. Stop treating it as an error.

commit 91d29b288aed3406caf7c454bf2b898c96cfd177 upstream.

timestamp_insn_cnt is used to estimate the timestamp based on the number of
instructions since the last known timestamp.

If the estimate is not accurate enough decoding might not be correctly
synchronized with side-band events causing more trace errors.

However there are always timestamps following an overflow, so the
estimate is not needed and can indeed result in more errors.

Suppress the estimate by setting timestamp_insn_cnt to zero.

commit 1c196a6c771c47a2faa63d38d913e03284f73a16 upstream.

When a TIP packet is expected but there is a different packet, it is an
error. However the unexpected packet might be something important like a
TSC packet, so after the error, it is necessary to continue from there,
rather than the next packet. That is achieved by setting pkt_step to
zero.

<content type='text'>
commit 117db4b27bf08dba412faf3924ba55fe970c57b8 upstream.

Overlap detection was not not updating the buffer's 'consecutive' flag.
Marking buffers consecutive has the advantage that decoding begins from
the start of the buffer instead of the first PSB. Fix overlap detection
to identify consecutive buffers correctly.

<content type='text'>
commit 6a558f12dbe85437acbdec5e149ea07b5554eced upstream.

Sometimes a FUP packet is associated with a TSX transaction and a flag is
set to indicate that. Ensure that flag is cleared on any error condition
because at that point the decoder can no longer assume it is correct.
