Stephane Eranian 405e494d91 [PATCH] x86-64: x86_64 make NMI use PERFCTR1 for architectural perfmon (take 2)
Hello,

This patch against 2.6.20-git14 makes the NMI watchdog use PERFSEL1/PERFCTR1
instead of PERFSEL0/PERFCTR0 on processors supporting Intel architectural
perfmon, such as Intel Core 2. Although all PMU events can work on
both counters, the Precise Event-Based Sampling (PEBS) requires that the
event be in PERFCTR0 to work correctly (see section 18.14.4.1 in the
IA32 SDM Vol 3b). This versions has 3 chunks compared to previous where
we had missed on check.

Changelog:
        - make the x86-64 NMI watchdog use PERFSEL1/PERFCTR1 instead of PERFSEL0/PERFCTR0
          on processors supporting the Intel architectural perfmon (e.g. Core 2 Duo).
          This allows PEBS to work when the NMI watchdog is active.
