[PATCH] perf/x86/intel: Correct wrong 'or' operation for pmu capabilities

[PATCH] perf/x86/intel: Correct wrong 'or' operation for pmu capabilities

[Dapeng Mi]

When running perf-stat command on Intel hybrid platform, perf-stat
reports the following errors.

sudo taskset -c 7 ./perf stat -vvvv -e cpu_atom/instructions/ sleep 1

Opening: cpu/cycles/:HG
------------------------------------------------------------
perf_event_attr:
  type                             0 (PERF_TYPE_HARDWARE)
  config                           0xa00000000
  disabled                         1
------------------------------------------------------------
sys_perf_event_open: pid 0  cpu -1  group_fd -1  flags 0x8
sys_perf_event_open failed, error -16

 Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1':

     <not counted>      cpu_atom/instructions/

It looks the cpu_atom/instructions/ event can't be enabled on atom pmu
even the process is pinned on atom core. The investigation shows that
exclusive_event_init() helper always returns -EBUSY error in the perf
event creation. That's strange since the atom pmu should not be a
exclusive PMU.

Further investigation shows the issue is introduced by commit 97588df87b56
("perf/x86/intel: Add common intel_pmu_init_hybrid()"). The commit
originally intents to clear the bit PERF_PMU_CAP_AUX_OUTPUT from pmu
capabilities if intel_cap.pebs_output_pt_available is not set, but it
incorrectly uses 'or' operation and leads to all pmu capabilities bits
are set to 1 except bit PERF_PMU_CAP_AUX_OUTPUT.

Testing this fix on Intel hybrid platforms, the observed issues
disappear.
