There are various pmu tests that require an isb() between enabling counting and the actual counting. This can lead to count registers reporting less events than expected; the actual enabling happens after some events have happened. For example, some missing isb()'s in the pmu-sw-incr test lead to the following errors on bare-metal: INFO: pmu: pmu-sw-incr: SW_INCR counter #0 has value 4294967280 PASS: pmu: pmu-sw-incr: PWSYNC does not increment if PMCR.E is unset FAIL: pmu: pmu-sw-incr: counter #1 after + 100 SW_INCR FAIL: pmu: pmu-sw-incr: counter #0 after + 100 SW_INCR INFO: pmu: pmu-sw-incr: counter values after 100 SW_INCR #0=82 #1=98 PASS: pmu: pmu-sw-incr: overflow on counter #0 after 100 SW_INCR SUMMARY: 4 tests, 2 unexpected failures Add the missing isb()'s on all failing tests, plus some others that are not currently required but might in the future (like an isb() after clearing the overflow signal in the IRQ handler).
