      perf/x86: Fix spurious NMI with PEBS Load Latency event · fd583ad1
      Kan Liang authored
      Spurious NMIs will be observed with the following command:
      
        while :; do
          perf record -bae "cpu/umask=0x01,event=0xcd,ldlat=0x80/pp"
                        -e "cpu/umask=0x03,event=0x0/"
                        -e "cpu/umask=0x02,event=0x0/"
                        -e cycles,branches,cache-misses
                        -e cache-references -- sleep 10
        done
      
      The bug was introduced by commit:
      
        8077eca0 ("perf/x86/pebs: Add workaround for broken OVFL status on HSW+")
      
      That commit clears the status bits for the counters used for PEBS
      events, by masking the whole 64 bits pebs_enabled. However, only the
      low 32 bits of both status and pebs_enabled are reserved for PEBS-able
      counters.
      
      For status bits 32-34 are fixed counter overflow bits. For
      pebs_enabled bits 32-34 are for PEBS Load Latency.
      
      In the test case, the PEBS Load Latency event and fixed counter event
      could overflow at the same time. The fixed counter overflow bit will
      be cleared by mistake. Once it is cleared, the fixed counter overflow
      never be processed, which finally trigger spurious NMI.
      
      Correct the PEBS enabled mask by ignoring the non-PEBS bits.
