Subject: perf intel-pt: Fix MTC timestamp calculation for large MTC periods

From: Adrian Hunter <[email protected]>

commit 3bccbe20f6d188ce7b00326e776b745cfd35b10a upstream.

The MTC packet provides a 8-bit slice of CTC which is related to TSC by the TMA packet, however the TMA packet only provides the lower 16 bits of CTC. If mtc_shift > 8 then some of the MTC bits are not in the CTC provided by the TMA packet. Fix-up the last_mtc calculated from the TMA packet by copying the missing bits from the current MTC assuming the least difference between the two, and that the current MTC comes after last_mtc.
