This patch solves a race condition between PEBS and the PMU handler. In case multiple PEBS events are sampled at the same time, it is possible to have GLOBAL_STATUS bit 62 set indicating PEBS buffer overflow and also seeing at most 3 PEBS counters having their bits set in the status register. This is a sign that there was at least one PEBS record pending at the time of the PMU interrupt. PEBS counters must only be processed via the drain_pebs() calls, and not via the regular sample processing loop coming after that the function, otherwise phony regular samples may be generated in the sampling buffer not marked with the EXACT tag. Another possibility is to have one PEBS event and at least one non-PEBS event whic hoverflows while PEBS has armed. In this case, bit 62 of GLOBAL_STATUS will not be set, yet the overflow status bit for the PEBS counter will be on Skylake. To avoid this problem, we systematically ignore the PEBS-enabled counters from the GLOBAL_STATUS mask and we always process PEBS events via drain_pebs(). The problem manifested itself by having non-exact samples when sampling only PEBS events, i.e., the PERF_SAMPLE_RECORD would not have the EXACT flag set. Note that this problem is only present on Skylake processor. This fix is harmless on older processors.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
