Re: [PATCH v7 04/14] alpha/perf: clear PERF_HES_UPTODATE when an event starts counting

[sashiko-bot@kernel.org]

> alpha_pmu_add() sets PERF_HES_UPTODATE and maybe_change_configuration()
> then programs and enables the counter, but nothing clears the flag until
> the first alpha_pmu_start(). In that window alpha_pmu_stop() with
> PERF_EF_UPDATE skips the count update, because the flag claims the count
> is current. Since the next reload rewrites the counter, everything
> counted since the event was added is lost.

> perf_adjust_freq_unthr_events() does this on the first tick after an
> event in frequency mode is scheduled in, which is the default for perf
> record, and it then sees no count to adjust the period with.

> stopping it before then must not read the counter.
