[PATCH v4 2/9] arm64: perf: Enable pmu counter direct access for perf event on armv8

Rob Herring robh at kernel.org
Thu Oct 1 10:01:09 EDT 2020


From: Raphael Gault <raphael.gault at arm.com>

Keep track of event opened with direct access to the hardware counters
and modify permissions while they are open.

The strategy used here is the same which x86 uses: everytime an event
is mapped, the permissions are set if required. The atomic field added
in the mm_context helps keep track of the different event opened and
de-activate the permissions when all are unmapped.
We also need to update the permissions in the context switch code so
that tasks keep the right permissions.

v2:
 - Move mapped/unmapped into arm64 code. Fixes arm32.
 - Rebase on cap_user_time_short changes

Changes from Raphael's v4:
  - Drop homogeneous check
  - Disable access for chained counters
  - Set pmc_width in user page
