Commit 9e9f601084 ("powerpc/perf/{hv-gpci, hv-common}: generate
requests with counters annotated") adds a framework for defining
gpci counters.
In this patch, they adds starting_index value as '0xffffffffffffffff'.
which is wrong as starting_index is of size 32 bits.
Because of this, incase we try to run hv-gpci event we get error.
In power9 machine:
command#: perf stat -e hv_gpci/system_tlbie_count_and_time_tlbie_instructions_issued/
-C 0 -I 1000
event syntax error: '..bie_count_and_time_tlbie_instructions_issued/'
\___ value too big for format, maximum is 4294967295
This patch fix this issue and changes starting_index value to '0xffffffff'
After this patch:
command#: perf stat -e hv_gpci/system_tlbie_count_and_time_tlbie_instructions_issued/ -C 0 -I 1000
1.000085786 1,024 hv_gpci/system_tlbie_count_and_time_tlbie_instructions_issued/
2.000287818 1,024 hv_gpci/system_tlbie_count_and_time_tlbie_instructions_issued/
2.439113909 17,408 hv_gpci/system_tlbie_count_and_time_tlbie_instructions_issued/
