Sidharth reports that on M2, the PMU never generates any interrupt when using 'perf record', which is a annoying as you get no sample. I'm temped to say "no sample, no problem", but others may have a different opinion. Upon investigation, it appears that the counters on M2 are significantly different from the ones on M1, as they count on 64 bits instead of 48. Which of course, in the fine M1 tradition, means that we can only use 63 bits, as the top bit is used to signal the interrupt... This results in having to introduce yet another flag to indicate yet another odd counter width. Who knows what the next crazy implementation will do... With this, perf can work out the correct offset, and 'perf record' works as intended. Tested on M2 and M2-Pro CPUs.
