Three things to note here:

(1) I think this is missing some other necessary register configuration.

    From a quick scan, we also require MDCR_EL3.EnPM2 (bit [7]) to be
    configured, which is not described in mainline nor here. If that
    resets to 0, then EL{2,1,0} accesses to a number of registers such
    as PMUACR_EL1 may trap to EL3.

    AFAICT the boot-wrapper resets that bit to 0, so have we actually
    tested all of this with the boot-wrapper? Does TF-A set this bit?

    Are we sure we've cpatured *all* requirements for FEAT_PMUv3p9? i.e.
    is there anything else that we've missed?

(2) This is a fix for !VHE support for PMUACR and ICNTR, where the host
    may run at EL1 and consequently will be affected by fine grained
    traps.

    So this probably needs a CC stable and/or fixes tag, and backport.

(3) As there's no KVM changes, this is only safe provided that the
    registers affected by these fine grained traps are already
    unconditionally trapped by other traps when running a vCPU.

    It looks like PMICNTR_EL0, PMICFILTR_EL0, and PMUACR_EL1 are all
    trapped by MDCR_EL2.TPM, so that should work as long as we emulate
    the PMU. For direct access, FGT2 support will be a prerequisite.

Ideally, we'd have added support for FGT2 before the PMU functionality
that implicitly depends upon it. We should pay more attention to trap
controls in future.

Given (1) and (2) I think someone needs to look into this a bit more and
figure out if this needs a fixup or a respin.

Mark.
