commit 8b33dfe0ba1c84c1aab2456590b38195837f1e6e upstream. Bad counter reads are experienced sometimes when bit 10 or greater rolls over. Originally, testing showed that at least 10 lower bits would be set to the same value during these bad reads. However, some users still reported time skips. Wider testing revealed that on some chips, occasionally only the lowest 9 bits would read as the anomalous value. During these reads (which still happen only when bit 10), bit 9 would read as the correct value. Reduce the mask by one bit to cover these cases as well.

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.
