It is also called through riscv_pmu_read(). A trivial example where the counters
are read while started is `perf stat -C <cpu> -I <interval>`. With logging the
function and event_idx:

Yes, but only the first XLEN elements in ctr_values can be read/updated by an
SBI call, and XLEN < 64 on riscv32. This actually works with the current code
for the non-overflow case, because SBI_PMU_START_FLAG_INIT_SNAPSHOT is not used,
and the value copying code in pmu_sbi_ctr_stop() isn't limited by XLEN.
However, pmu_sbi_stop_hw_ctrs() is broken, even after the next patch. Stopping
counters 32-63 will clobber (an arbitrary subset of) the values for counters
0-31. You would need code to move the values for counters 32-63 from the first
half of ctr_values to the second half. And because ctr_values is only written by
the SBI implementation _when the counter is stopped_, we can't ask the SBI
implementation to restore the values for counters 0-31, so those values must be
backed up somewhere else.
The simple solution might be to have a shadow copy of ctr_values, that always
puts the values at the same (absolute) offset.

Right, I wasn't concerned about bounds checking, only that
SBI_PMU_STOP_FLAG_TAKE_SNAPSHOT is limited to writing to the first XLEN elements
of ctr_values.

PERF_EF_UPDATE is a flag, so the API seems to have been designed with the
expectation that it is set only sometimes. I can't predict how the core perf
logic will change, but I doubt whoever is changing it will be aware of the
subtle undocumented requirements for correctness here. Regardless, it's not an
issue if we copy the counter values outside the shared memory.

This still isn't right (overflowed_ctrs and ctr_ovf_mask also need to be 64

There are two sets of indexes here. There's the bits in SCOUNTOVF, which are
limited to 32 bits; and there are the SBI counter indexes, which go up to 64. A
bit < 32 in SCOUNTOVF might map to a SBI counter index >= 32. The fact that
pmu_sbi_ovf_handler() is limited to SBI counter indexes < XLEN is a bug.
