[PATCH v7 5/9] arm64: perf: Add userspace counter access disable switch

Rob Herring robh at kernel.org
Tue Apr 20 04:15:07 BST 2021


Like x86, some users may want to disable userspace PMU counter
altogether. Add a sysfs 'rdpmc' file to control userspace counter
access. The default is '1' which is enabled. Writing '0' disables
access.

In the case of multiple PMUs (i.e. big.LITTLE), the control is per PMU
and userspace must disable access on each PMU.

Note that x86 also supports writing '2' to globally enable user access.
As there's not existing userspace support to worry about, this shouldn't
be necessary for Arm. It could be added later if the need arises.
