It is very likely to be observed on idle systems. This issue is caused by a hardware issue. PERF_GLOBAL_CTL could be cleared after Package C7, and nothing will be count. The related errata (HSD 158) could be found in: www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/specification-updates/4th-gen-core-family-desktop-specification-update.pdf This patch tries to work around this issue by re-enabling PERF_GLOBAL_CTL in ->enable_box(). The workaround does not cover all cases. It helps for new events after returning from C7. But it cannot prevent C7, it will still miscount if a counter is already active. There is no drawback in leaving it enabled, so it does not need disable_box() here.
