Commit0fdf1bb759("arm64: perf: Avoid PMXEV* indirection") changed armv8pmu_read_evcntr() to return a u32 instead of u64. The result is silent truncation of the event counter when using 64-bit counters. Given the offending commit appears to have passed thru several folks, it seems likely this was a bad rebase after v8.5 PMU 64-bit counters landed.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
