[PATCH 4/6] perf: Fix hw breakpoints overflow period sampling

From: Jiri Olsa
Date: Sun Mar 10 2013 - 14:42:34 EST


The hw breakpoint pmu 'add' function is missing the
period_left update needed for SW events.

The perf HW breakpoint events use SW events framework
for to process the overflow, so it needs to be properly
initialized during PMU 'add' method.
