Ravi Bangoria ca221cf9ab powerpc/perf: Fix MMCRA corruption by bhrb_filter 
commit 3202e35ec1 upstream.

Consider a scenario where user creates two events:

  1st event:
    attr.sample_type |= PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK;
    attr.branch_sample_type = PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_ANY;
    fd = perf_event_open(attr, 0, 1, -1, 0);

  This sets cpuhw->bhrb_filter to 0 and returns valid fd.

  2nd event:
    attr.sample_type |= PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK;
    attr.branch_sample_type = PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_CALL;
    fd = perf_event_open(attr, 0, 1, -1, 0);

  It overrides cpuhw->bhrb_filter to -1 and returns with error.

Now if power_pmu_enable() gets called by any path other than
power_pmu_add(), ppmu->config_bhrb(-1) will set MMCRA to -1.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
