[kvm-unit-tests PATCH v8 2/3] arm: pmu: Check cycle count increases

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

 



From: Christopher Covington <cov@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Ensure that reads of the PMCCNTR_EL0 are monotonically increasing,
even for the smallest delta of two subsequent reads.
