Subject: [PATCH v2 6/9] perf/cxl: Unfreeze counters after handling an overflow interrupt
Date: Wed, 29 Jul 2026 07:55:52 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260729145555.3919550-7-dave.jiang@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260729145555.3919550-1-dave.jiang@intel.com>

The counters are configured with Freeze on Overflow, so when any counter
overflows the CPMU freezes every counter in the block (CXL r4.0
§8.2.7.2.1). cxl_pmu_irq() reads the overflowed counters and clears the
overflow status, but never writes the CPMU Freeze register to unfreeze,
so all counters stay frozen until the next pmu_enable() and events in
that window are silently lost.

Unfreeze after clearing the overflow status so counting resumes.

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
