perf header: Use last modification time for timestamp
Using .st_ctime clobbers the timestamp information in perf report header
whenever any operation is done with the file. Even tar-ing and untar-ing
the perf.data file (which preserves the file last modification timestamp)
doesn't prevent that:
[Michael@Diego tmp]$ ls -l perf.data
-> -rw-------. 1 Michael Michael 169888 Dec 2 15:23 perf.data
[Michael@Diego tmp]$ perf report --header-only
# ========
-> # captured on : Mon Dec 2 15:23:42 2019
[...]
[Michael@Diego tmp]$ tar c perf.data | xz > perf.data.tar.xz
[Michael@Diego tmp]$ mkdir aaa
[Michael@Diego tmp]$ cd aaa
[Michael@Diego aaa]$ xzcat ../perf.data.tar.xz | tar x
[Michael@Diego aaa]$ ls -l -a
total 172
drwxrwxr-x. 2 Michael Michael 23 Jan 14 11:26 .
drwxrwxr-x. 6 Michael Michael 4096 Jan 14 11:26 ..
-> -rw-------. 1 Michael Michael 169888 Dec 2 15:23 perf.data
[Michael@Diego aaa]$ perf report --header-only
# ========
-> # captured on : Tue Jan 14 11:26:16 2020
[...]
When using .st_mtime instead, correct information is printed:
[Michael@Diego aaa]$ ~/acme/tools/perf/perf report --header-only
# ========
-> # captured on : Mon Dec 2 15:23:42 2019
[...]
