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

commit 88ec7eedbbd21cad38707620ad6c48a4e9a87c18 upstream.

Perf doesn't work at low frequencies:

  $ perf record -e cpu_core/instructions/ppp -F 120
  Error:
  The sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with 22 (Invalid argument)
  for event (cpu_core/instructions/ppp).
  "dmesg | grep -i perf" may provide additional information.

The limit_period() check avoids a low sampling period on a counter. It
doesn't intend to limit the frequency.

The check in the x86_pmu_hw_config() should be limited to non-freq mode.
The attr.sample_period and attr.sample_freq are union. The
attr.sample_period should not be used to indicate the frequency mode.
