Commit9e9f601084("powerpc/perf/{hv-gpci, hv-common}: generate requests with counters annotated") adds a framework for defining gpci counters. In this patch, they adds starting_index value as '0xffffffffffffffff'. which is wrong as starting_index is of size 32 bits. Because of this, incase we try to run hv-gpci event we get error. In power9 machine: command#: perf stat -e hv_gpci/system_tlbie_count_and_time_tlbie_instructions_issued/ -C 0 -I 1000 event syntax error: '..bie_count_and_time_tlbie_instructions_issued/' \___ value too big for format, maximum is 4294967295 This patch fix this issue and changes starting_index value to '0xffffffff' After this patch: command#: perf stat -e hv_gpci/system_tlbie_count_and_time_tlbie_instructions_issued/ -C 0 -I 1000 1.000085786 1,024 hv_gpci/system_tlbie_count_and_time_tlbie_instructions_issued/ 2.000287818 1,024 hv_gpci/system_tlbie_count_and_time_tlbie_instructions_issued/ 2.439113909 17,408 hv_gpci/system_tlbie_count_and_time_tlbie_instructions_issued/ Fixes:9e9f601084("powerpc/perf/{hv-gpci, hv-common}: generate requests with counters annotated") Signed-off-by: Kajol Jain <kjain@linux.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20201003074943.338618-1-kjain@linux.ibm.com
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.
