[PATCH] KVM: arm64: Don't zero the cycle count register when PMCR_EL0.P is set

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



According to ARM DDI 0487G.a, page D13-3895, setting the PMCR_EL0.P bit to
1 has the following effect:

"Reset all event counters accessible in the current Exception level, not
including PMCCNTR_EL0, to zero."

Similar behaviour is described for AArch32 on page G8-7022. Make it so.

Found by code inspection.

Entertained the idea of restricting the number of bits in
for_each_set_bit() to 31 since Linux (and the architecture, to some degree)
treats the cycle count register as the 32nd event counter. Settled on this
approach because I think it's clearer.
