[ Upstream commit 15def34e2635ab7e0e96f1bc32e1b69609f14942 ]
commit e050e3f0a71bf ("perf: Fix broken interrupt rate throttling") introduces a change in throttling threshold judgment. Before this, compare hwc->interrupts and max_samples_per_tick, then increase hwc->interrupts by 1, but this commit reverses order of these two behaviors, causing the semantics of max_samples_per_tick to change. In literal sense of "max_samples_per_tick", if hwc->interrupts == max_samples_per_tick, it should not be throttled, therefore, the judgment condition should be changed to "hwc->interrupts > max_samples_per_tick".
In fact, this may cause the hardlockup to fail, The minimum value of max_samples_per_tick may be 1, in this case, the return value of __perf_event_account_interrupt function is 1. As a result, nmi_watchdog gets throttled, which would stop PMU (Use x86 architecture as an example, see x86_pmu_handle_irq).
