[PATCH 2/3] perf/amlogic: Fix large number of counter issue

From: Jiucheng Xu
Date: Thu Feb 09 2023 - 07:06:07 EST


When use 1ms interval, very large number of counter happens
once in a while as below:

25.968654513 281474976710655.84 MB meson_ddr_bw/chan_1_rw_bytes,arm=1/
26.118657346 281474976710655.88 MB meson_ddr_bw/chan_1_rw_bytes,arm=1/
26.180137180 281474976710655.66 MB meson_ddr_bw/chan_1_rw_bytes,arm=1/

Root cause is the race between irq handler
and pmu.read callback. Use spin lock to protect the sw&hw
counters.
