arm_pmu: Fix write counter incorrect in ARMv7 big-endian mode
Commit 3a95200d3f89 ("arm_pmu: Change API to support 64bit counter values")
changes the input "value" type from 32-bit to 64-bit, which introduces the
following problem: ARMv7 PMU counters is 32-bit width, in big-endian mode,
write counter uses high 32-bit, which writes an incorrect value.
Before:
Performance counter stats for 'ls':
2.22 msec task-clock # 0.675 CPUs utilized
0 context-switches # 0.000 K/sec
0 cpu-migrations # 0.000 K/sec
49 page-faults # 0.022 M/sec
2150476593 cycles # 966.663 GHz
2148588788 instructions # 1.00 insn per cycle
2147745484 branches # 965435.074 M/sec
2147508540 branch-misses # 99.99% of all branches
None of the above hw event counters are correct.
Solution:
"value" forcibly converted to 32-bit type before being written to PMU register.
After:
Performance counter stats for 'ls':
2.09 msec task-clock # 0.681 CPUs utilized
0 context-switches # 0.000 K/sec
0 cpu-migrations # 0.000 K/sec
