This condition can never occur because pmu_sbi_snapshot_free() is called in the
error path.

phys_addr_t on riscv32 is 32 bits, so the high argument will always be zero.
(I'm guessing the compiler warned without the cast?) Do we need this special case?

This statement has no effect; snapshot_set_done is known to be false above.

This does not work if pmu_sbi_ctr_read() is called while the counter is started,
because ctr_values is only updated when stopping the counter (and the shared
memory is only updated at that time as well). So you would need to check for
PERF_HES_STOPPED or being in the overflow handler here. And this can't possibly
work for idx >= XLEN.

This clobbers sdata->ctr_values[0], which may be used later by
pmu_sbi_ctr_read(). This only happens to work if riscv_pmu_stop() is always
called with the PERF_EF_UPDATE flag, and riscv_pmu_read() is never called with
the event stopped but still in PERF_EVENT_STATE_ACTIVE. I think both of those
conditions are true at the moment, but this is still rather fragile.

This only updates the overflow bitmap and counter values for the first XLEN
counters. You need a second call for any remaining counters on riscv32. Of
course, this will clobber (up to) the entire shared memory, breaking later calls
to pmu_sbi_ctr_read().

Why do these two functions need to be noinline?

This is also broken on riscv32 (as is the existing code), since ctr_ovf_mask is
only 32 bits there, but idx counts from 0 to 63.

This is technically fine because nothing is writing to the shmem at this time,
but it certainly looks like a possible use-after-free.

Also, this whole block can go inside the sbi_pmu_snapshot_available() check,
because either the branch is set or pmu_sbi_snapshot_free() is already called in
the error case below.
