Hi,
This improves perf on imx53 by adding support for enabling the Secure
Debug Enable Register (SDER) SUNIDEN bit. This unlocks new
functionality:
ppd before patchset# perf stat -e cycles,instructions sleep 1 2>&1 | grep instructions
0 instructions # 0.00 insn per cycle
ppd after patchset# perf stat -e cycles,instructions sleep 1 2>&1 | grep instructions
177864 instructions # 0.05 insn per cycle
Changes since PATCHV3:
* Use readl_relaxed instead of __raw_readl (and the same for writel)
* Drop final return in void function
* Add Reviewed-by from Fabio to 2nd patch
Changes since PATCHv2:
* Always enable GPC_DBG_EN when kernel configuration allows using perf
to allow cleanup of the arm-pmu driver.
Changes since PATCHv1:
* Update DTS patch to reference imx53.dtsi's pmu node
* Remove a superfluous newline in first patch
