[PATCH v2 4/5] target/ppc: keep ins_cnt/cyc_cnt cleared if MMCR0_FC is s


From: Daniel Henrique Barboza
Subject: [PATCH v2 4/5] target/ppc: keep ins_cnt/cyc_cnt cleared if MMCR0_FC is set
Date: Mon, 3 Jan 2022 15:53:31 -0300

pmu_update_summaries() is not considering the case where the PMU can be
turned off (i.e. stop counting all events) if MMCR0_FC is set,
regardless of the other frozen counter bits state. This use case was
covered in the late pmc_get_event(), via the also gone pmc_is_inactive(),
that would return an invalid event if MMCR0_FC was set.

This use case is exercised by the back_to_back_ebbs_test Linux kernel
selftests [1]. As it is today, after enabling EBB exceptions, the test
will report an additional event-based branch being taken and will fail.
Other tests, such as cycles_test.c, will report additional cycles being
calculated in the counters because we're not freezing the PMU quick
enough.

Fix pmu_update_summaries() by keeping env->ins_cnt and env->cyc_cnt
cleared when MMCR0_FC is set.
