[PATCH v4 1/9] arm64: pmu: Add function implementation to update event index in userpage

From: Rob Herring
Date: Thu Oct 01 2020 - 10:02:12 EST


From: Raphael Gault <raphael.gault@xxxxxxx>

In order to be able to access the counter directly for userspace,
we need to provide the index of the counter using the userpage.
We thus need to override the event_idx function to retrieve and
convert the perf_event index to armv8 hardware index.

Since the arm_pmu driver can be used by any implementation, even
if not armv8, two components play a role into making sure the
behaviour is correct and consistent with the PMU capabilities:

* the ARMPMU_EL0_RD_CNTR flag which denotes the capability to access
counter from userspace.
* the event_idx call back, which is implemented and initialized by
the PMU implementation: if no callback is provided, the default
behaviour applies, returning 0 as index value.
