From: German Gomez <german.gomez@arm.com> stable inclusion from stable-v5.10.94 commit 10e99ae9b5da7e6a5304db3a926f6a460ee850d2 bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I531X9 Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=... -------------------------------- commit 3606c0e1a1050d397ad759a62607e419fd8b0ccb upstream. A previous patch preventing "attr->sample_period" values from being overridden in pfm events changed a related behaviour in arm-spe. Before said patch: perf record -c 10000 -e arm_spe_0// -- sleep 1 Would yield an SPE event with period=10000. After the patch, the period in "-c 10000" was being ignored because the arm-spe code initializes sample_period to a non-zero value. This patch restores the previous behaviour for non-libpfm4 events.
