This all looks very wrong... In auto reload we should never call
intel_pmu_save_and_restore() in the first place I think.
Things like x86_perf_event_update() and x86_perf_event_set_period()
simply _cannot_ do the right thing when we auto reload the counter.
I think it should be OK to call it in first place.
For x86_perf_event_update(), the reload_times will tell if it's auto
reload. Both period_left and event->count are carefully recalculated for
auto reload.
For x86_perf_event_set_period(), there is nothing special needed for
auto reload. The period is fixed. The period_left from
x86_perf_event_update() is already handled.
BTW: It should be 'count' not 'count - 1' which pass to
intel_pmu_save_and_restart(). I just found the issue. I will fix it in
V2 with other improvements if there are any.
Thanks,
Kan
