[PATCH v2 17/23] KVM: arm64: Account for partitioning in PMCR_EL0 access
Posted by Colton Lewis 3 months, 2 weeks ago
For some reason unknown to me, KVM allows writes to PMCR_EL0.N even
though the architecture specifies that field as RO. Make sure these
accesses conform to additional constraints imposed when the PMU is
partitioned.

Looks like the main problem here is struct arm_pmu is not defined if we
don't have CONFIG_ARM_PMU. I'll provide a dummy definition for that case
and swap out the field reference for a function call.

Secondary problem is making sure there is a prototype for
pmu_access_el0_disabled in that instance.
