That's a good point. The ARMv8 ARM says:
"Long cycle counter enable. Determines when unsigned overflow is
recorded by the cycle counter overflow bit."
which doesn't say anything about the counter being truncated one way or
another.

I still think kvm_pmu_idx_is_64bit() correct, and would be easily
extended to supporting the ARMv8.5-PMU extension. However, it'd be
better to just detect the cycle counter in the current patch rather
than relying on the above helper:

As for revamping the rest of the code, that's 5.5 material.

Deprecated, yes. Disallowed, no. We'll have to support this as long as
we have 32bit capable stuff in the wild. But we could at least start
with correctly emulating the setting of the LC bit, see below.
Thanks,

Subject: [PATCH] arm64: KVM: Handle PMCR_EL0.LC as RES1 on pure AArch64
systems
Of PMCR_EL0.LC, the ARMv8 ARM says:
"In an AArch64 only implementation, this field is RES 1."
So be it.
