Currently, the maximum value of every format attribute is not being correctly set.
For eg: cat /sys/devices/cpu/format/umask config:8-15 This implies the max_value of umask should be 0xff ./perf stat –e cpu/umask=0x100/ sleep 1 Performance counter stats for '../rets-128.bin': 0 cpu/umask=0x100/ 0.109157272 seconds time elapsed works just fine(0x100 > 0xff). Whereas, ./perf stat –e cpu/umask=0xff01/ sleep 1 event syntax error: 'cpu/umask=0xff01/' \___ value too big for format, maximum is 65280(0xff00) The maximum value is set to 0xff00 instead of 0xff. This patch fixes the pmu_format_max_value() function to return the correct maximum value.
