powerpc/perf: Never program book3s PMCs with values >= 0x80000000
commit f56029410a13cae3652d1f34788045c40a13ffc7 upstream.
We are seeing a lot of PMU warnings on POWER8:
Can't find PMC that caused IRQ
Looking closer, the active PMC is 0 at this point and we took a PMU
exception on the transition from negative to 0. Some versions of POWER8
have an issue where they edge detect and not level detect PMC overflows.
A number of places program the PMC with (0x80000000 - period_left),
where period_left can be negative. We can either fix all of these or
just ensure that period_left is always >= 1.
This patch takes the second option.
