Description: kernel: s390/cpum_cf,perf: change DFLT_CCERROR counter name
Symptom: Counter name CCERROR is misleading.
Problem: Change the counter name DLFT_CCERROR to DLFT_CCFINISH on
IBM z15. This counter counts completed DEFLATE instructions
with exit code 0, 1 or 2. Since exit code 0 means success
and exit code 1 or 2 indicate errors, change the counter
name to avoid confusion. This counter is incremented each
time the DEFLATE instruction completed regardless if an error was detected or not.
Solution: Rename s390 z15 counter named DFLT_CCERROR to DFLT_CCFINISH
Reproduction: Command # ls /sys/devices/cpum_cf/events/DFLT_CCERROR currently succeeds. After this patch has been applied the command does not work anymore. The file does not exist anymore. Use command
# ls /sys/devices/cpum_cf/events/DFLT_CCFINISH instead.
