The perf event sample_period is currently set based upon the current counter value, when PMXEVTYPER is written to and the perf event is created. However the user may choose to write the type before the counter value in which case sample_period will be set incorrectly. Let's instead decouple event creation from PMXEVTYPER and (re)create the event in either suitation.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
