    ring-buffer: Update read stamp with first real commit on page · b81f472a
    Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) authored
    Do not update the read stamp after swapping out the reader page from the
    write buffer. If the reader page is swapped out of the buffer before an
    event is written to it, then the read_stamp may get an out of date
    timestamp, as the page timestamp is updated on the first commit to that
    page.
    
    rb_get_reader_page() only returns a page if it has an event on it, otherwise
    it will return NULL. At that point, check if the page being returned has
    events and has not been read yet. Then at that point update the read_stamp
    to match the time stamp of the reader page.
