Desnes A. Nunes do Rosario Nov. 27, 2019, 8:51 p.m. UTC 
By using count_pmc() to reset the pmc instead of write_pmc(), an extra
count is performed on ebb_state.stats.pmc_count[PMC_INDEX(pmc)] more than
the value accounted by ebb_state.stats.ebb_count in the main test loops.
This extra pmc_count makes a few tests fail occasionally on PowerVM systems
with high workloads, such as cycles_test shown hereafter, where the
ebb_count is occasionally above the upper limit due to this extra count.

Moreover, this is also indicated by extra PMC1 trace_log on the output of
a few tests:

==========
   ...
   [21]: counter = 8
   [22]: register SPRN_MMCR0 = 0x0000000080000080
   [23]: register SPRN_PMC1  = 0x0000000080000004
   [24]: counter = 9
   [25]: register SPRN_MMCR0 = 0x0000000080000080
   [26]: register SPRN_PMC1  = 0x0000000080000004
   [27]: counter = 10
   [28]: register SPRN_MMCR0 = 0x0000000080000080
   [29]: register SPRN_PMC1  = 0x0000000080000004
>> [30]: register SPRN_PMC1  = 0x000000004000051e
PMC1 count (0x280000546) above upper limit 0x2800003e8 (+0x15e)
[FAIL] Test FAILED on line 52
failure: cycles
