Subject: i386: make NMI use PERFCTR1 for architectural perfmon
From: Stephane Eranian <eranian@xxxxxxxxxx>
Make the NMI watchdog use PERFSEL1/PERFCTR1 instead of PERFSEL0/PERFCTR0 on
processors supporting Intel architectural perfmon, such as Intel Core 2.
Although all PMU events can work on both counters, the Precise Event-Based
Sampling (PEBS) requires that the event be in PERFCTR0 to work correctly
(see section 18.14.4.1 in the IA32 SDM Vol 3b).
