Subject: [PATCH 6.18.y 1/2] arm64: errata: Factor out broken AMU const counter cap
Date: Mon,  5 Oct 2026 20:09:26 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261006000910.3554634-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2026100500-elsewhere-excretion-642e@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.

The paired CPPC FFH counter-read helper is absent here, so omit its
comment-only update. Retain the shared capability and MIDR range list,
and update the existing AMU initialization and constant-counter read
paths. This preserves Cortex-A510 handling and prepares the shared
workaround for Cortex-A725.
