perf/x86/intel: Fix debug_store reset field for freq events
There's a bug in PEBs event enabling code, that prevents PEBS freq events to work properly after non freq PEBS event was run. freq events - perf_event_attr::freq set -F <freq> option of perf record PEBS events - perf_event_attr::precise_ip > 0 default for perf record Like in following example with CPU 0 busy, we expect ~10000 samples for following perf tool run: # perf record -F 10000 -C 0 sleep 1 [ perf record: Woken up 2 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.640 MB perf.data (10031 samples) ] Everything's fine, but once we run non freq PEBS event like: # perf record -c 10000 -C 0 sleep 1 [ perf record: Woken up 4 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 1.053 MB perf.data (20061 samples) ] the freq events start to fail like this: # perf record -F 10000 -C 0 sleep 1 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.185 MB perf.data (40 samples) ] The issue is in non freq PEBs event initialization of debug_store reset field, which value is used to auto-reload the counter value after PEBS event drain. This value is not being used for PEBS freq events, but once we run non freq event it stays in debug_store data and screws the sample_freq counting for PEBS freq events. Setting the reset field to 0 for freq events.
