This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled arm64: dts: allwinner: a64: Re-add PMU node to the 5.3-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: arm64-dts-allwinner-a64-re-add-pmu-node.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.3 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 25e5445c630c69bd7e3d05d327e15d095651b195 Author: Andre Przywara <andre.przywara@xxxxxxx> Date: Tue Nov 5 11:06:51 2019 +0000 arm64: dts: allwinner: a64: Re-add PMU node [ Upstream commit 6b832a148717f1718f57805a9a4aa7f092582d15 ] As it was found recently, the Performance Monitoring Unit (PMU) on the Allwinner A64 SoC was not generating (the right) interrupts. With the SPI numbers from the manual the kernel did not receive any overflow interrupts, so perf was not happy at all. It turns out that the numbers were just off by 4, so the PMU interrupts are from 148 to 151, not from 152 to 155 as the manual describes. This was found by playing around with U-Boot, which typically does not use interrupts, so the GIC is fully available for experimentation: With *every* PPI and SPI enabled, an overflowing PMU cycle counter was found to set a bit in one of the GICD_ISPENDR registers, with careful counting this was determined to be number 148. Tested with perf record and perf top on a Pine64-LTS. Also tested with tasksetting to every core to confirm the assignment between IRQs and cores.
