this should be rather 'if (low_cccr & P4_CCCR_OVF)' otherwise
redundant checking_wrmsrl called, updated patch below

/me seems should not touch code at all today

perf, x86: P4 PMU - Fix unflagged overflows handling

Jason pointed out that kgdb no longer works with new
nmi-watchdog. Don found the reason -- P4 PMU reads CCCR
register instead of counter itself, it forces NMIs to
be eaten by perf subsystem.

Fix it by reading a proper register.

v2: Call checking_wrmsrl only if needed

Jason I've removed your Tested-by because the patch differ a bit
