[PATCH] powerpc: perf: Fix frequency calculation for overflowing counters (FSL version)

quoted

Does perf_event_fsl_emb.c need this as well (it has almost the same
record_and_restart code)? 

I would think so.

Good point:


When fixing the frequency calculations for perf on powerpc I forgot
to fix the FSL version.

If we dont set event->hw.last_period the frequency to period calculations
in perf go haywire and we continually throttle/unthrottle the PMU.
