[PATCH] perf/x86/zhaoxin: Fix instructions error by missing fixedctr member
Posted by tanze 7 months, 3 weeks ago 
Perf's instructions event tests on Zhaoxin CPUs may exhibit:

  $perf stat -e instructions,cycles ls -l

  ......
  Performance counter stats for 'ls -l':

                 0      instructions                     #    0.00  insn per cycle
         9,488,278      cycles

       0.004365407 seconds time elapsed

       0.003303000 seconds user
       0.001099000 seconds sys

The absence of the fixedctr member leads to an incorrect hwc->event_base
value on Zhaoxin CPUs, causing a discrepancy in the instruction count
reported by perf stat. This commit resolves the instruction count issue
by properly initializing the fixedctr member.

Fixes: 149fd4712bcd ("perf/x86/intel: Support Perfmon MSRs aliasing")

I have no idea Zhaoxin also have fixed counters.
If so, Yes, I think the patch is required.

Hi all,

Please **disregard** my previous patch ([PATCH v2 perf/x86/zhaoxin: Fix instructions…]).  I will resend a corrected version asap.

Sorry for the noise.
