The sample_period needs to be recalibrated after every sample to match the desired sampling freq for a 'freq mode event'. Since the next sample_period is calculated by generic kernel, PMU specific constraints are not (explicitly) reckoned. The sample_period value is programmed in a MaxCnt field of IBS PMUs, and the MaxCnt field has following constraints: 1) MaxCnt must be multiple of 0x10. Kernel keeps track of residual / over-counted period into period_left, which should take care of this constraint by programming MaxCnt with (sample_period & ~0xF) and adding remaining period into the next sample. 2) MaxCnt must be >= 0x10 for IBS Fetch PMU and >= 0x90 for IBS Op PMU. Currently, IBS PMU driver allows sample_period below min_period, which is an undefined HW behavior. Reset sample_period to min_period whenever it's less than that.

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.
