Will Deacon a737823d37 ARM: 6835/1: perf: ensure overflows aren't missed due to IRQ latency
If a counter overflows during a perf stat profiling run it may overtake
the last known value of the counter:

    0        prev     new                0xffffffff
    |----------|-------|----------------------|

In this case, the number of events that have occurred is
(0xffffffff - prev) + new. Unfortunately, the event update code will
not realise an overflow has occurred and will instead report the event
delta as (new - prev) which may be considerably smaller than the real
count.

This patch adds an extra argument to armpmu_event_update which indicates
whether or not an overflow has occurred. If an overflow has occurred
then we use the maximum period of the counter to calculate the elapsed
events.
