The power PMU group constraints includes check for EBB events to make
sure all events in a group must agree on EBB. This will prevent
scheduling EBB and non-EBB events together. But in the existing check,
settings for constraint mask and value is interchanged. Patch fixes the
same.
Before the patch, PMU selftest "cpu_event_pinned_vs_ebb_test" fails with
below in dmesg logs. This happens because EBB event gets enabled along
with a non-EBB cpu event.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
