Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 5.2 52/76] perf script: Fix off by one in brstackinsn IPC computation

From: Andi Kleen <ak@...ux.intel.com>

[ Upstream commit dde4e732a5b02fa5599c2c0e6c48a0c11789afc4 ]

When we hit the end of a program block, need to count the last
instruction too for the IPC computation. This caused large errors for
small blocks.

  % perf script -b ls / > /dev/null

Before:

  % perf script -F +brstackinsn --xed

        00007f94c9ac70e3                        testb  $0x20, 0x31d(%rbx)
        00007f94c9ac70ea                        jnz 0x7f94c9ac70b0
        00007f94c9ac70ec                        testb  $0x8, 0x205ad(%rip)
        00007f94c9ac70f3                        jz 0x7f94c9ac6ff0               # PRED 1 cycles [37] 3.00 IPC

After:

  % perf script -F +brstackinsn --xed
  ...
        00007f94c9ac70d8                        jz 0x7f94c9ac70e3                       # PRED 3 cycles [15] 4.67 IPC
        00007f94c9ac70e3                        testb  $0x20, 0x31d(%rbx)
        00007f94c9ac70ea                        jnz 0x7f94c9ac70b0
        00007f94c9ac70ec                        testb  $0x8, 0x205ad(%rip)
