The sample timestamp is updated to ensure that the timestamp represents the time of the sample and not a branch that the decoder is still walking towards. The sample timestamp is updated when the decoder returns, but the decoder does not return for non-taken branches. Update the sample timestamp then also.
Note that commit 3f04d98e972b5 ("perf intel-pt: Improve sample timestamp") was also a stable fix and appears, for example, in v4.4 stable tree as commit a4ebb58fd124 ("perf intel-pt: Improve sample timestamp").
