If use option '--itrace=iNNN' with Arm CoreSight trace data, perf tool fails inject instruction samples; the root cause is the packets are only switched for branch samples and last branches but not for instruction samples, so the new coming packets cannot be properly handled for only synthesizing instruction samples. To fix this issue, this patch switches packets for instruction samples. Signed-off-by: Leo Yan <redacted> --- tools/perf/util/cs-etm.c | 6 ++++-- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-)
