stable inclusion from linux-4.19.207 commit 90a2eb8a436341b1b4c5e5226dc78408ad8a97e4
--------------------------------
commit f9addd85fbfacf0d155e83dbee8696d6df5ed0c7 upstream.
H_GetPerformanceCounterInfo (0xF080) hcall returns the counter data in the result buffer. Result buffer has specific format defined in the PAPR specification. One of the fields is counter offset and width of the counter data returned.
Counter data are returned in a unsigned char array in big endian byte order. To get the final counter data, the values must be left shifted byte at a time. But commit 220a0c609ad17 ("powerpc/perf: Add support for the hv gpci (get performance counter info) interface") made the shifting bitwise and also assumed little endian order. Because of that, hcall counters values are reported incorrectly.
In particular this can lead to counters go backwards which messes up the counter prev vs now calculation and leads to huge counter value reporting:

Fix the shifting logic to correct match the format, ie. read bytes in big endian order.
