Fork of alistair23 Linux kernel for reMarkable from https://github.com/alistair23/linux
f4e23cf947
When a counter is disabled, its value is sampled before the event
is being disabled, and the value written back in the shadow register.
In that process, the value gets truncated to 32bit, which is adequate
for any counter but the cycle counter (defined as a 64bit counter).
This obviously results in a corrupted counter, and things like
"perf record -e cycles" not working at all when run in a guest...
A similar, but less critical bug exists in kvm_pmu_get_counter_value.
Make the truncation conditional on the counter not being the cycle
counter, which results in a minor code reorganisation.
Fixes:

README
Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
