Subject: [PATCH 4.2.y-ckt 220/268] perf/x86: fix PEBS issues on Intel Atom/Core2

4.2.8-ckt3 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

---8<------------------------------------------------------------

From: Stephane Eranian <eranian@...gle.com>

commit 1424a09a9e1839285e948d4ea9fdfca26c9a2086 upstream.

This patch fixes broken PEBS support on Intel Atom and Core2
due to wrong pointer arithmetic in intel_pmu_drain_pebs_core().

The get_next_pebs_record_by_bit() was called on PEBS format fmt0
which does not use the pebs_record_nhm layout.
