Currently, using PEBS-via-PT with a sample frequency instead of a sample
period, causes a segfault. For example:
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address:
0000000000000195
<NMI>
? __die_body.cold+0x19/0x27
? page_fault_oops+0xca/0x290
? exc_page_fault+0x7e/0x1b0
? asm_exc_page_fault+0x26/0x30
? intel_pmu_pebs_event_update_no_drain+0x40/0x60
? intel_pmu_pebs_event_update_no_drain+0x32/0x60
intel_pmu_drain_pebs_icl+0x333/0x350
handle_pmi_common+0x272/0x3c0
intel_pmu_handle_irq+0x10a/0x2e0
perf_event_nmi_handler+0x2a/0x50
That happens because intel_pmu_pebs_event_update_no_drain() assumes all the
pebs_enabled bits represent counter indexes, which is not always the case.
In this particular case, bits 60 and 61 are set for PEBS-via-PT purposes.
The behaviour of PEBS-via-PT with sample frequency is questionable because
although a PMI is generated (PEBS_PMI_AFTER_EACH_RECORD), the period is not
adjusted anyway.
Putting that aside, fix intel_pmu_pebs_event_update_no_drain() by passing
the mask of counter bits instead of 'size'. Note, prior to the Fixes
commit, 'size' would be limited to the maximum counter index, so the issue
was not hit.
Fixes: 722e42e45c2f1 ("perf/x86: Support counter mask")
