From: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@xxxxxxxxx> Fix occasional decoder errors decoding trace data collected in snapshot mode. Snapshot mode can take successive snapshots of trace which might overlap. The decoder checks whether there is an overlap but only looks at the current and previous buffer. However buffers that do not contain synchronization (i.e. PSB) packets cannot be decoded or used for overlap checking. That means the decoder actually needs to check overlaps between the current buffer and the previous buffer that contained usable data. Make that change.
