Subject: [PATCH 4.16 041/110] s390/cpum_sf: ensure sample frequency of perf event attributes is non-zero

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

------------------

From: Hendrik Brueckner <brueckner@...ux.ibm.com>

commit 4bbaf2584b86b0772413edeac22ff448f36351b1 upstream.

Correct a trinity finding for the perf_event_open() system call with
a perf event attribute structure that uses a frequency but has the
sampling frequency set to zero.  This causes a FP divide exception during
the sample rate initialization for the hardware sampling facility.

Fixes: 8c069ff4bd606 ("s390/perf: add support for the CPU-Measurement Sampling Facility")
