Stephane Eranian 8309ce746a perf/x86/intel/ds: Fix EVENT vs. UEVENT PEBS constraints
[ Upstream commit 23e3983a46 ]

This patch fixes an bug revealed by the following commit:

  6b89d4c1ae ("perf/x86/intel: Fix INTEL_FLAGS_EVENT_CONSTRAINT* masking")

That patch modified INTEL_FLAGS_EVENT_CONSTRAINT() to only look at the event code
when matching a constraint. If code+umask were needed, then the
INTEL_FLAGS_UEVENT_CONSTRAINT() macro was needed instead.
This broke with some of the constraints for PEBS events.

Several of them, including the one used for cycles:p, cycles:pp, cycles:ppp
fell in that category and caused the event to be rejected in PEBS mode.
In other words, on some platforms a cmdline such as:

  $ perf top -e cycles:pp

would fail with -EINVAL.

This patch fixes this bug by properly using INTEL_FLAGS_UEVENT_CONSTRAINT()
when needed in the PEBS constraint tables.

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

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

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.
