Subject: powerpc/perf: Freeze PMC5/6 if we're not using them
From: Michael Ellerman <michael@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 7a7a41f9d5b28ac3a916b057a7d3cd3f435ee9a6 upstream.
On Power8 we can freeze PMC5 and 6 if we're not using them. Normally they
run all the time.
As noticed by Anshuman, we should unfreeze them when we disable the PMU
as there are legacy tools which expect them to run all the time.
