The PowerISA v3.1 defines that if the proper bits are set (MMCR0_PMC1CE for PMC1 and MMCR0_PMCjCE for the remaining PMCs), counter negative conditions are enabled. This means that if the counter value overflows (i.e. exceeds 0x80000000) a performance monitor alert will occur. This alert can trigger an event-based exception (to be implemented in the next patches) if the MMCR0_EBE bit is set. For now, overflowing the counter when the PMC is counting cycles will just trigger a performance monitor alert. This is done by starting the overflow timer to expire in the moment the overflow would be occuring. The timer will call fire_PMC_interrupt() (via cpu_ppc_pmu_timer_cb) which will trigger the PMU alert and, if the conditions are met, an EBB exception.
