Currently we set the period and record it as the initial value of the
counter without checking it's set to the hardware successfully or not.
However the counter maybe unwritable if the target event is unsupported
by the device. In such case we will pass user a wrong count:
[start counts when setting the period]
hwc->prev_count = 0x8000000000000000
device.counter_value = 0 // the counter is not set as the period
[when user reads the counter]
event->count = device.counter_value - hwc->prev_count
= 0x8000000000000000 // wrong. should be 0.
Fix this by record the hardware counter counts correctly when setting
the period.

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.
