Therefore, to setup for the next sample collection, pmu_start should set the pmc value to 0x80000000 - left instead of left which incorrectly delays the next overflow interrupt. Same as commit 9a45a9407c69 ("powerpc/perf: power_pmu_start restores incorrect values, breaking frequency events") for book3s.
