Instead of using standard perf_event_attr->freq=0 and ->sample_period fields, IBS event in 'sample period mode' can also be opened by setting period value directly in perf_event_attr->config in a MaxCnt bit-field format. IBS OP MaxCnt bits are defined as: (high bits) IbsOpCtl[26:20] = IbsOpMaxCnt[26:20] (low bits) IbsOpCtl[15:0] = IbsOpMaxCnt[19:4] Perf event sample period can be derived from MaxCnt bits as: sample_period = (high bits) | ((low_bits) << 4); However, current code just masks MaxCnt bits and shifts all of them, including high bits, which is incorrect. Fix it.

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.
