[024/114] perf, x86: P4 PMU -- update nmi irq statistics and unmask lvt entry properly

From: Greg KH
Date: Tue Aug 24 2010 - 19:21:46 EST


2.6.35-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Cyrill Gorcunov <gorcunov@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 1c250d709fdc8aa5bf42d90be99428a01a256a55 upstream.

In case if last active performance counter is not overflowed at
moment of NMI being triggered by another counter, the irq
statistics may miss an update stage. As a more serious
consequence -- apic quirk may not be triggered so apic lvt entry
stay masked.
