That means this local64_set() is wrong. The purpose here is to emulate a longer period with a short counter. So even though we have to take the interrupt to observe the counter width overflow and reprogram, we must not decrease the @left value. Doing so will trigger one of the above two cases and result in @overflow == 1, even though we've not actually had hwc->sample_period counts. > + } > + > + value = arc_pmu->max_period - left; > + local64_set(&hwc->prev_count, value); > + > + /* Select counter */ > + write_aux_reg(ARC_REG_PCT_INDEX, idx); > + > + /* Write value */ > + write_aux_reg(ARC_REG_PCT_COUNTL, (u32)value); > + write_aux_reg(ARC_REG_PCT_COUNTH, (value >> 32)); > + > + perf_event_update_userpage(event); > + > + return overflow; > +} -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-arch" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
