powerpc/perf: power_pmu_start restores incorrect values, breaking frequency events
commit 9a45a9407c69d068500923480884661e2b9cc421 upstream.
perf on POWER stopped working after commit e050e3f0a71b (perf: Fix
broken interrupt rate throttling). That patch exposed a bug in
the POWER perf_events code.
Since the PMCs count upwards and take an exception when the top bit
is set, we want to write 0x80000000 - left in power_pmu_start. We were
instead programming in left which effectively disables the counter
until we eventually hit 0x80000000. This could take seconds or longer.
With the patch applied I get the expected number of samples:
SAMPLE events: 9948
