Subject: [PATCH 1/2] perf/x86/intel: Don't clear perf metrics overflow bit unconditionally
Date: Tue, 15 Apr 2025 10:41:34 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250415104135.318169-1-dapeng1.mi@linux.intel.com> (raw)
The below code would always unconditionally clear other status bits like
perf metrics overflow bit once PEBS buffer overflows.
status &= intel_ctrl | GLOBAL_STATUS_TRACE_TOPAPMI;
This is incorrect. Perf metrics overflow bit should be cleared only when
fixed counter 3 in PEBS counter group. Otherwise perf metrics overflow
could be missed to handle.
Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250225110012.GK31462@noisy.programming.kicks-ass.net/
Fixes: 7b2c05a15d29 ("perf/x86/intel: Generic support for hardware TopDown metrics")
