Subject: [PATCH 7.2.y 1/2] arm64: errata: Factor out broken AMU const counter cap
Date: Mon,  5 Oct 2026 18:53:33 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261005225325.3487067-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2026100500-widget-handcart-8d85@gregkh>

From: Beata Michalska <beata.michalska@arm.com>

[ Upstream commit 573371caf7aea8582212da81dcead2c3f48fac4b ]

Move the workaround from the erratum 2457168-specific cpucap to a generic
broken AMU constant-counter one. This keeps the existing Cortex-A510
handling unchanged while allowing other errata with similar AMU constant
counter issue to share the capability bit and call sites.

Omit the comment update in amu_read_core_const_ctrs(), since paired
CPPC FFH counter reads are not implemented here. Keep the capability
rename in the existing counter-read and initialization paths, together
with the shared MIDR range list needed by the additional erratum.
