[PATCH 3/3] perf, x86: Add INST_RETIRED.PREC_DIST workarounds

From: Andi Kleen
Date: Tue Aug 12 2014 - 21:45:48 EST


From: Andi Kleen <ak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

On Broadwell INST_RETIRED.PREC_DIST cannot be used with any period
that doesn't have the lowest 6 bits cleared. And the period
should not be smaller than 128.

Add a new callback to enforce this, and set it for Broadwell.

This is erratum BDM57 and BDM11.
