This patch fixes an bug revealed by the following commit:
6b89d4c1ae85 ("perf/x86/intel: Fix INTEL_FLAGS_EVENT_CONSTRAINT* masking")
That patch modified INTEL_FLAGS_EVENT_CONSTRAINT() to only look at the event code
when matching a constraint. If code+umask were needed, then the
INTEL_FLAGS_UEVENT_CONSTRAINT() macro was needed instead.
This broke with some of the constraints for PEBS events.
Several of them, including the one used for cycles:p, cycles:pp, cycles:ppp
fell in that category and caused the event to be rejected in PEBS mode.
In other words, on some platforms a cmdline such as:
$ perf top -e cycles:pp
would fail with -EINVAL.
This patch fixes this bug by properly using INTEL_FLAGS_UEVENT_CONSTRAINT()
when needed in the PEBS constraint tables.

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.
