There's a bug in PEBs event enabling code, that prevents PEBS
freq events to work properly after non freq PEBS event was run.
freq events - perf_event_attr::freq set
-F <freq> option of perf record
PEBS events - perf_event_attr::precise_ip > 0
default for perf record
Like in following example with CPU 0 busy, we expect ~10000 samples
for following perf tool run:
# perf record -F 10000 -C 0 sleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 2 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.640 MB perf.data (10031 samples) ]
Everything's fine, but once we run non freq PEBS event like:
# perf record -c 10000 -C 0 sleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 4 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 1.053 MB perf.data (20061 samples) ]
the freq events start to fail like this:
# perf record -F 10000 -C 0 sleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.185 MB perf.data (40 samples) ]
The issue is in non freq PEBs event initialization of debug_store reset
field, which value is used to auto-reload the counter value after PEBS
event drain. This value is not being used for PEBS freq events, but once
we run non freq event it stays in debug_store data and screws the
sample_freq counting for PEBS freq events.
Setting the reset field to 0 for freq events.
