perf/x86/intel/pt: Fix buffer full but size is 0 case
If the trace data buffer becomes full, a truncated flag [T] is reported in PERF_RECORD_AUX. In some cases, the size reported is 0, even though data must have been added to make the buffer full.
That happens when the buffer fills up from empty to full before the Intel PT driver has updated the buffer position. Then the driver calculates the new buffer position before calculating the data size. If the old and new positions are the same, the data size is reported as 0, even though it is really the whole buffer size.
Fix by detecting when the buffer position is wrapped, and adjust the data size calculation accordingly.
Example
Use a very small buffer size (8K) and observe the size of truncated [T] data. Before the fix, it is possible to see records of 0 size.
Before:
$ perf record -m,8K -e intel_pt// uname Linux [ perf record: Woken up 2 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.105 MB perf.data ] $ perf script -D --no-itrace | grep AUX | grep -F '[T]' Warning: AUX data lost 2 times out of 3!

After:
$ perf record -m,8K -e intel_pt// uname Linux [ perf record: Woken up 3 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.040 MB perf.data ] $ perf script -D --no-itrace | grep AUX | grep -F '[T]' Warning: AUX data lost 2 times out of 3!
