Subject: [PATCH 2/9] perf/cxl: Clear stale event fields before reprogramming a counter
Date: Tue, 28 Jul 2026 14:05:44 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260728210551.2449093-3-dave.jiang@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260728210551.2449093-1-dave.jiang@intel.com>

cxl_pmu_event_start() ORs the event group id, event mask, edge and invert
selections into a configurable counter's config register without clearing
those fields first, and cxl_pmu_event_stop() leaves them set. Reusing a
counter for another event therefore ORs the new selection onto the old,
counting the wrong events with stale edge/invert behaviour.

Clear EVENT_GRP_ID_IDX, EVENTS, EDGE and INVERT before applying the new
values.

Fixes: 5d7107c72796 ("perf: CXL Performance Monitoring Unit driver")
Reported-by: sashiko-bot@kernel.org
Closes: https://sashiko.dev/#/patchset/20260715191454.459673-1-dave@stgolabs.net?part=1
