Subject[PATCH 2/4] perf, x86: P4 PMU - Don't forget to clear cpuc->active_mask on overflow
Date
From: Cyrill Gorcunov <gorcunov@gmail.com>

It's not enough to simply disable event on overflow the cpuc->active_mask
should be cleared as well otherwise counter may stall in "active" even
in real being already disabled (which potentially may lead to the situation
that user may not use this counter further).

Don pointed "I also noticed this patch fixed some unknown NMIs on a P4 when
I stressed the box".
