[ Upstream commit ab0cc6bbf0c812731c703ec757fcc3fc3a457a34 ]
Thresh compare bits for a event is used to program thresh compare field in Monitor Mode Control Register A (MMCRA: 9-18 bits for power9). When scheduling events as a group, all events in that group should match value in threshold bits (like thresh compare, thresh control, thresh select). Otherwise event open for the sibling events should fail. But in the current code, incase thresh compare bits are not valid, we are not failing in group_constraint function which can result in invalid group schduling.
Fix the issue by returning -1 incase event is threshold and threshold compare value is not valid.
Thresh control bits in the event code is used to program thresh_ctl field in Monitor Mode Control Register A (MMCRA: 48-55). In below example, the scheduling of group events PM_MRK_INST_CMPL (873534401e0) and PM_THRESH_MET (8734340101ec) is expected to fail as both event request different thresh control bits and invalid thresh compare value.
Result before the patch changes:
[command]# perf stat -e "{r8735340401e0,r8734340101ec}" sleep 1
