Commit 0fe1ac48 ("powerpc/perf_event: Fix oops due to perf_event_do_pending call") moved the call to perf_event_do_pending in timer_interrupt() down so that it was after the irq_enter() call. Unfortunately this moved it after the code that checks whether it is time for the next decrementer clock event. The result is that the call to perf_event_do_pending() won't happen until the next decrementer clock event is due. This was pointed out by Milton Miller. This fixes it by moving the check for whether it's time for the next decrementer clock event down to the point where we're about to call the event handler, after we've called perf_event_do_pending. This has the side effect that on old pre-Core99 Powermacs where we use the ppc_n_lost_interrupts mechanism to replay interrupts, a replayed interrupt will incur a little more latency since it will now do the code from the irq_enter down to the irq_exit, that it used to skip. However, these machines are now old and rare enough that this doesn't matter. To make it clear that ppc_n_lost_interrupts is only used on Powermacs, and to speed up the code slightly on non-Powermac ppc32 machines, the code that tests ppc_n_lost_interrupts is now conditional on CONFIG_PMAC as well as CONFIG_PPC32.
