If we have the time in, keep the events in time order.
Committer notes:
Trying to be more verbose, what actual effect this will have in this particular
case?

We don't have 'perf' calling 'perf' calling 'make', etc, the second
'perf' actually is 'make', i.e. there was reordering of the relevant
PERF_RECORD_COMM and PERF_RECORD_FORK records.
Ditto for sh/install later on.
Look for FORK and COMM meta events, for those tids:
# perf report -D | egrep 'PERF_RECORD_(FORK|COMM)' | egrep '3243[34]'

First column is the cpu, second is the timestamp.
So they are on different CPUs, thus ring buffers, and when we don't use
the ordered_events class, we end up mixing that up, use it to take
advantage of the PERF_RECORD_FINISHED_ROUND meta events to go on
ordering the events using the PERF_SAMPLE_TIME present in the
PERF_RECORD_{FORK,COMM,EXIT,SAMPLE,etc} records in the ring buffer.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
