[PATCH 1/3] perf, x86: Reset more state in PMU reset

From: Andi Kleen
Date: Fri Feb 27 2015 - 12:48:48 EST


From: Andi Kleen <ak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The PMU reset code didn't quite keep up with newer PMU features.
Improve it a bit to really reset a modern PMU:

- Clear all overflow status
- Clear LBRs and freezing state
- Disable fixed counters too
