You're right, I think it should be:

    pmu->fixed_ctr_ctrl_mask &= ~(0xbull << (i * 4));

w/o invertion and I will fix it in the next version.


+ pmu->fixed_ctr_ctrl_mask = ~pmu->fixed_ctr_ctrl_mask;
Inverted is all 0s, always.

pmu->global_ctrl = ((1ull << pmu->nr_arch_gp_counters) - 1) |
(((1ull << pmu->nr_arch_fixed_counters) - 1) << INTEL_PMC_IDX_FIXED);
pmu->global_ctrl_mask = ~pmu->global_ctrl;
