[ Upstream commit 5afd032961e8465808c4bc385c06e7676fbe1951 ]
cs_etm__flush(), like cs_etm__sample() is an operation that generates a sample and then swaps the current with the previous packet. Calling flush after processing the queues results in two swaps which corrupts the next sample. Therefore it wasn't appropriate to call flush here so remove it.
Flushing is still done on a discontinuity to explicitly clear the last branch buffer, but when the packet_queue fills up before reaching a timestamp, that's not a discontinuity and the call to cs_etm__process_traceid_queue() already generated samples and drained the buffers correctly.
This is visible by looking for a branch that has the same target as the previous branch and the following source is before the address of the last target, which is impossible as execution would have had to have gone backwards:
ffff800080849d40 _find_next_and_bit+0x78 => ffff80008011cadc update_sg_lb_stats+0x94 (packet_queue fills here before a timestamp, resulting in a flush and branch target ffff80008011cadc is duplicated.) ffff80008011cb1c update_sg_lb_stats+0xd4 => ffff80008011cadc update_sg_lb_stats+0x94 ffff8000801117c4 cpu_util+0x24 => ffff8000801117d4 cpu_util+0x34
After removing the flush the correct branch target is used for the second sample, and ffff8000801117c4 is no longer before the previous address:
ffff800080849d40 _find_next_and_bit+0x78 => ffff80008011cadc update_sg_lb_stats+0x94 ffff80008011cb1c update_sg_lb_stats+0xd4 => ffff8000801117a0 cpu_util+0x0 ffff8000801117c4 cpu_util+0x24 => ffff8000801117d4 cpu_util+0x34
Make sure that a final branch stack is output at the end of the trace by calling cs_etm__end_block(). This is already done for both the timeless decode paths.
