<content type='text'>
The throttle support has been added in the generic code. Remove
the driver-specific throttle support.

Besides the throttle, perf_event_overflow may return true because of
event_limit. It already does an inatomic event disable. The pmu-&gt;stop
is not required either.

<title>sparc: perf: fix updated event period in response to PERF_EVENT_IOC_PERIOD</title>

<id>56cd0aefa475079e9613085b14a0f05037518fed</id>
<content type='text'>
The PERF_EVENT_IOC_PERIOD ioctl command can be used to change the
sample period of a running perf_event. Consequently, when calculating
the next event period, the new period will only be considered after the
previous one has overflowed.

This patch changes the calculation of the remaining event ticks so that
they are offset if the period has changed.

See commit 3581fe0ef37c ("ARM: 7556/1: perf: fix updated event period in
response to PERF_EVENT_IOC_PERIOD") for details.

<title>sparc64: Use ftrace_graph_get_ret_stack() instead of curr_ret_stack</title>

The structure of the ret_stack array on the task struct is going to
change, and accessing it directly via the curr_ret_stack index will no
longer give the ret_stack entry that holds the return address. To access
that, architectures must now use ftrace_graph_get_ret_stack() to get the
associated ret_stack that matches the saved return address.

<title>sparc: Fix single-pcr perf event counter management.</title>

It is important to clear the hw-&gt;state value for non-stopped events
when they are added into the PMU.  Otherwise when the event is
scheduled out, we won't read the counter because HES_UPTODATE is still
set.  This breaks 'perf stat' and similar use cases, causing all the
events to show zero.

This worked for multi-pcr because we make explicit sparc_pmu_start()
calls in calculate_multiple_pcrs().  calculate_single_pcr() doesn't do
this because the idea there is to accumulate all of the counter
settings into the single pcr value.  So we have to add explicit
hw-&gt;state handling there.

Like x86, we use the PERF_HES_ARCH bit to track truly stopped events
so that we don't accidently start them on a reload.

Related to all of this, sparc_pmu_start() is missing a userpage update
so add it.

<title>perf: Fix sibling iteration</title>

Mark noticed that the change to sibling_list changed some iteration
semantics; because previously we used group_list as list entry,
sibling events would always have an empty sibling_list.

But because we now use sibling_list for both list head and list entry,
siblings will report as having siblings.

Fix this with a custom for_each_sibling_event() iterator.
