SIER stands for "Sampled Instruction Event Register", instead. With that
change, your patch is totally clear :-)

Sampled instruction address register (SIER), is a PMU register, captures architecture state for a given sample. And sier_user_mask defined in commit 330a1eb7775b ("powerpc/perf: Core EBB support for 64-bit book3s") defines the architected bits that needs to be saved from the SPR. Currently all of the bits from SIER are saved for EBB events. Patch fixes this by ANDing the "sier_user_mask" to data from SIER in ebb_switch_out(). This will force save only architected bits from the SIER.
