IBS Op uses two counters: MaxCnt and CurCnt. MaxCnt is programmed with the desired sample period. IBS hw generates sample when CurCnt reaches to MaxCnt. The size of these counter used to be 20 bits but later they were extended to 27 bits. The 7 bit extension is indicated by CPUID Fn8000_001B_EAX[6 / OpCntExt]. perf_ibs->cnt_mask variable contains bit masks for MaxCnt and CurCnt. But IBS driver does not set upper 7 bits of CurCnt in cnt_mask even when OpCntExt CPUID bit is set. Fix this. IBS driver uses cnt_mask[CurCnt] bits only while disabling an event. Fortunately, CurCnt bits are not read from MSR while re-enabling the event, instead MaxCnt is programmed with desired period and CurCnt is set to 0. Hence, we did not see any issues so far.

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 reStructuredText 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.
