From 8c8a9b25b5de3f1eeac721cf34f4379e56d5d694 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Anton Blanchard Date: Tue, 18 Jan 2011 21:44:04 +1100 Subject: powerpc, perf: Fix frequency calculation for overflowing counters (FSL version) When fixing the frequency calculations for perf on powerpc I forgot to fix the FSL version. If we dont set event->hw.last_period the frequency to period calculations in perf go haywire and we continually throttle/unthrottle the PMU.
