[ Upstream commit aa616f5a8a2d22a179d5502ebd85045af66fa656 ]
Commit d110162cafc80dad ("perf tsc: Support cap_user_time_short for
event TIME_CONV") supports the extended parameters for event TIME_CONV,
but it broke the backwards compatibility, so any perf data file with old
event format fails to convert timestamp.
This patch introduces a helper event_contains() to check if an event
contains a specific member or not. For the backwards-compatibility, if
the event size confirms the extended parameters are supported in the
event TIME_CONV, then copies these parameters.
Committer notes:
To make this compiler backwards compatible add this patch:
- struct perf_tsc_conversion tc = { 0 };
+ struct perf_tsc_conversion tc = { .time_shift = 0, };
Fixes: d110162cafc8 ("perf tsc: Support cap_user_time_short for event TIME_CONV")

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
