perf/x86: Fix uncore PCI fixed counter handling
There was a bug in the handling of SNB-EP/IVB-EP uncore PCI fixed counters, e.g., IMC. It would cause erratic values to be returned for the IMC clockticks event. This was due to a bogus hwc->config value which was then written to PCI config space. The erratic values can be seen via: $ perf stat -a -C 0 -e uncore_imc_0/clockticks/ -I 1000 sleep 10 The fixed counter has most fields marked as reserved with hw reset values of 0. Yet the kernel was defaulting to a hwc->config = ~0 and that was causing the issues. This patch sets the hwc->config values for fixed uncore event to 0. Now, the values of IMC clockticks is correct.
