[ Impact ]
s390/cpumf: Update CPU Measurement facility extended counter set support
Update CPU Measurement counter facility support for the
extended counter set for machine types 9175 and 9176.
[ Fix ]
Backport the following patch from upstream:
- df194f57de71 s390/cpumf: Update CPU Measurement facility extended counter set
support
[ Test Plan ]
Boot a z17 instance and run the command:
ls -l /sys/devices/cpum_cf/events | wc -l
The output must be 106.
[ Where Problems Could Occur ]
The fix modifies CPUMF event registration for IBM z17. A bug in this patch may
cause incorrect event exposure on unsupported hardware, leading to invalid perf
measurements, sysfs inconsistencies, or kernel warnings due to misconfigured or
non-existent counters.
