Subject: [PATCH v2 2/6] KVM: arm64: Contextualise the handling of PMCR_EL0.P writes
Date: Wed,  9 Apr 2025 17:01:02 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250409160106.6445-3-maz@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250409160106.6445-1-maz@kernel.org>

Contrary to what the comment says in kvm_pmu_handle_pmcr(),
writing PMCR_EL0.P==1 has the following effects:

<quote>
The event counters affected by this field are:
  * All event counters in the first range.
  * If any of the following are true, all event counters in the second
    range:
    - EL2 is disabled or not implemented in the current Security state.
    - The PE is executing at EL2 or EL3.
</quote>

where the "first range" represent the counters in the [0..HPMN-1]
range, and the "second range" the counters in the [HPMN..MAX] range.

It so appears that writing P from EL2 should nuke all counters,
and not just the "guest" view. Just do that, and nuke the misleading
comment.
