Hi Marc,

I checked and indeed the remaining cases cover all registers that use
this accessor.

However, I'm a bit torn here. The warning that I got when trying to run a guest
with the PMU feature flag set, but not initialized (reported at [1])
was also not
supposed to ever be reached:

static u32 kvm_pmu_event_mask(struct kvm *kvm)
{
    switch (kvm->arch.pmuver) {
    case 1:            /* ARMv8.0 */
        return GENMASK(9, 0);
    case 4:            /* ARMv8.1 */
    case 5:            /* ARMv8.4 */
    case 6:            /* ARMv8.5 */
        return GENMASK(15, 0);
    default:        /* Shouldn't be here, just for sanity */
        WARN_ONCE(1, "Unknown PMU version %d\n", kvm->arch.pmuver);
        return 0;
    }
}

I realize it's not exactly the same thing and I'll leave it up to you
if you want
to add a warning for the cases that should never happen. I'm fine either way:

I already have queued such a warning[1]. It turns out that LLVM warns
idx can be left uninitialized, and shouts. Let me know if that works
for you.

Thanks,

        M.
