[PATCH v2 0/5] perf/x86/uncore: Overflow handling enhancements

[Sandipan Das <sandipan.das@amd.com>]

Uncore counters on AMD processors either roll over or saturate on
overflow and the amd-uncore driver has no way of knowing if multiple
overflows have occurred between two successive pmu->read() requests for
an event. This makes the user-visible counter values inaccurate. Solve
this by periodically initiating pmu->read() in order to keep prev_count
up-to-date. The approach follows Intel's precedent in handling uncore
counters.

Previous versions can be found at:
v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/cover.1744184837.git.sandipan.das@amd.com/

Changes in v2:
 - Add a Fixes tag for the first patch.
 - Change the hrtimer mode for both the Intel and the AMD uncore drivers
   based on Peter's suggestion.
 - Fix an issue in the UMC workaround where prev_count is not zeroed out
   after a counter is reset.
