Consider a scenario where user creates two events:
1st event:
attr.sample_type |= PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK;
attr.branch_sample_type = PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_ANY;
fd = perf_event_open(attr, 0, 1, -1, 0);
This sets cpuhw->bhrb_filter to 0 and returns valid fd.
2nd event:
attr.sample_type |= PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK;
attr.branch_sample_type = PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_CALL;
fd = perf_event_open(attr, 0, 1, -1, 0);
It overrides cpuhw->bhrb_filter to -1 and returns with error.
Now if power_pmu_enable() gets called by any path other than
power_pmu_add(), ppmu->config_bhrb(-1) will set MMCRA to -1.

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.
