I take it each slice PMU is shared by several CPUs? i.e. there aren't
per-cpu slice PMU counters.

What's the difference between MAX_L2_CTRS and MAX_L2_EVENTS?

I'm surprised that they are different. What precisely do either
represent?

Surely you don't have different events per-slice? Why do you need the
PMU pointers at the slice level?

These all look suspicious to me (potentially barring on_cpu)

Surely this is an uncore PMU? It represents a shared resource, with
shared counters, so it should be.

If you need to encode a set of CPUs, use a cpumask.

Eww. Drivers really shouldn't be messing with the MPIDR. The precise
values are bound to change between generations of SoCs leaving us with a
mess.

The FW should tell us precisely which CPUs device are affine to.

Probably worth giving a _bit suffix on this function. That makes it less
confusing when it's used later.

What does set_l2_indirect_reg do? IIRC it does system register accesses,
so I don't see why wmb() (A.K.A dsb(st)) would ensure completion of
those. So what's going on in hml2_pmu__disable()?

What exactly are you trying to order here?

It would be good to explain the magic 16 for these two (ideally using
some well-named mnemonic).

What exactly is a group in this context? Why is this not group_to_bit?

This doesn't look right. L2_EVT_GROUP() masks out and shifts out bits,
so I can pass an invalid value and it will be silently coerced to some
valid value.

I don't think sampling makes sense, given this is an uncore PMU and the
events are triggered by other CPUs.

Please also check grouping. For instance, you definitely don't support
event->pmu != event->group_leader->pmu, modulo so weirdness with
software events. See drivers/bus/arm-ccn.c.

Do you support groups of events at all?

If so, you must validate that the groups are also schedulable.

Please just do the usual thing for uncore PMU CPU handling. Take a look
at the arm-ccn driver.

Huh? You haven't validated the event. Please validate the config is a
real, countable event that you support before assuming success.

Eww. This indicates you're just hacking around userspace.

Make this a uncore PMU, and expose a cpumask. See the arm-ccn driver.

I don't follow the logic here.

What exactly are you trying to get? What space does the result exist in?
It's neither the Linux logical ID nor the physical ID.

As above, I really don't follow this.

Please, get a better, explicit, description of CPU affinity, rather than
depending on a fragile unique ID and an arbitrary MPIDR decomposition
scheme.

I didn't spot any CPU notifier. Consider hotplug and the automigration
of IRQs.

This really is not a property of the L2. It's a larger topological
detail.

Describe the CPU affinity explicitly rather than trying to hackishly
build it up from myriad sources.

May you have multiple sockets? You propbably want an instance ID on the
PMU name.
