[PATCH 4.9 162/241] perf stat: Fix bug in handling events in error state
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Mar 19 2018 - 15:20:47 EST
4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Stephane Eranian <eranian@xxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit db49a71798a38f3ddf3f3462703328dca39b1ac7 ]
(This is a patch has been sitting in the Intel CQM/CMT driver series for
a while, despite not depend on it. Sending it now independently since
the series is being discarded.)
When an event is in error state, read() returns 0 instead of sizeof()
buffer. In certain modes, such as interval printing, ignoring the 0
return value may cause bogus count deltas to be computed and thus
invalid results printed.
This patch fixes this problem by modifying read_counters() to mark the
event as not scaled (scaled = -1) to force the printout routine to show
<NOT COUNTED>.
