# HEAD: ad8c91282c95f801c37812d59d2d9eba6899b384 perf/x86/amd/core: Avoid register reset when CPU is dead

Two x86 PMU fixes:

- Work around AMD erratum to filter out bogus LBR stack entries

- Fix incorrect PMU reset that can result in warnings (or worse)
during suspend/hibernation.

Thanks,

Ingo
