2016-04-01perf jit: Add support for using TSC as a timestampAdrian Hunter
Intel PT uses TSC as a timestamp, so add support for using TSC instead of the monotonic clock. Use of TSC is selected by an environment variable "JITDUMP_USE_ARCH_TIMESTAMP" and flagged in the jitdump file with flag JITDUMP_FLAGS_ARCH_TIMESTAMP.

2016-03-31perf tools: Add time conversion eventAdrian Hunter
Intel PT uses the time members from the perf_event_mmap_page to convert between TSC and perf time. Due to a lack of foresight when Intel PT was implemented, those time members were recorded in the (implementation dependent) AUXTRACE_INFO event, the structure of which is generally inaccessible outside of the Intel PT decoder. However now the conversion between TSC and perf time is needed when processing a jitdump file when Intel PT has been used for tracing. So add a user event to record the time members. 'perf record' will synthesize the event if the information is available. And session processing will put a copy of the event on the session so that tools like 'perf inject' can easily access it.

2014-07-17perf tools: Allow TSC conversion on any archAdrian Hunter
It is possible to record a perf.data file on one architecture and process it on another. Consequently, TSC conversion functions need to be moved out of the arch directory.
