If a counter overflows during a perf stat profiling run it may overtake the last known value of the counter: 0 prev new 0xffffffff |----------|-------|----------------------| In this case, the number of events that have occurred is (0xffffffff - prev) + new. Unfortunately, the event update code will not realise an overflow has occurred and will instead report the event delta as (new - prev) which may be considerably smaller than the real count. This patch adds an extra argument to armpmu_event_update which indicates whether or not an overflow has occurred. If an overflow has occurred then we use the maximum period of the counter to calculate the elapsed events.
