Please add a comment to the code stating exactly what PERF_HES_ARCH
means for the CCI PMU driver, so it's easy to find.

I think this can be:

        DECLARE_BITMAP(mask, cci_pmu->num_cntrs);

Likewise:

        bitmap_zero(mask, cci_pmu->num_cntrs);

                if (WARN_ON(!cci_pmu->hw_events.events[i]))
                        continue;

Why couldn't we have kept pmu_event_set_period here, and have that set
prev_count and PERF_HES_ARCH?

Then we'd be able to do the same betching for overflow too.

What am I missing?

Mark.
