From a803ea15b0dca8f073b3d5139b962a0a93354e00 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stephane Eranian Date: Thu, 26 Nov 2020 20:09:22 +0900 Subject: [PATCH] perf/x86/intel: Check PEBS status correctly [ Upstream commit fc17db8aa4c53cbd2d5469bb0521ea0f0a6dbb27 ] The kernel cannot disambiguate when 2+ PEBS counters overflow at the same time. This is what the comment for this code suggests. However, I see the comparison is done with the unfiltered p->status which is a copy of IA32_PERF_GLOBAL_STATUS at the time of the sample. This register contains more than the PEBS counter overflow bits. It also includes many other bits which could also be set.
