Subject: [PATCH v2 0/3] POWER8 PMU bugfixes
Date: Tue, 8 Jul 2014 16:08:19 +0930 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1404801502-4663-1-git-send-email-joel@jms.id.au> (raw)
These three patches are required for correct operation of perf counters on
POWER8 boxes when running KVM guests. There were two bugs; not clearing MMCR2
and writing over the saved value when entering a guest. However the first
obscured the second.
Thanks to who mpe helped diagnose the issue and pointed out the fix.
