3.15-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Michael Ellerman <m...@ellerman.id.au>
commit 8903461c9bc56fcb041fb92d054e2529951770b6 upstream.
In the recent commit b50a6c584bb4 "Clear MMCR2 when enabling PMU", I
screwed up the handling of MMCR2 for tasks using EBB.
We must make sure we set MMCR2 *before* ebb_switch_in(), otherwise we
overwrite the value of MMCR2 that userspace may have written. That
potentially breaks a task that uses EBB and manually uses MMCR2 for
event freezing.
Fixes: b50a6c584bb4 ("powerpc/perf: Clear MMCR2 when enabling PMU")
