[ Upstream commit23d2626b84] Kernels older than v5.19 do not support PerfMonV2 and the PMI handler does not clear the overflow bits of the PerfCntrGlobalStatus register. Because of this, loading a recent kernel using kexec from an older kernel can result in inconsistent register states on Zen 4 systems. The PMI handler of the new kernel gets confused and shows a warning when an overflow occurs because some of the overflow bits are set even if the corresponding counters are inactive. These are remnants from overflows that were handled by the older kernel. During CPU hotplug, the PerfCntrGlobalCtl and PerfCntrGlobalStatus registers should always be cleared for PerfMonV2-capable processors. However, a condition used for NB event constaints applicable only to older processors currently prevents this from happening. Move the reset sequence to an appropriate place and also clear the LBR Freeze bit.

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.
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.
