From 99c1745b9c76910e195889044f914b4898b7c9a5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Will Deacon Date: Tue, 6 Mar 2012 17:34:22 +0100 Subject: ARM: 7355/1: perf: clear overflow flag when disabling counter on ARMv7 PMU When disabling a counter on an ARMv7 PMU, we should also clear the overflow flag in case an overflow occurred whilst stopping the counter. This prevents a spurious overflow being picked up later and leading to either false accounting or a NULL dereference.
