The ISB isn't necessary here, AFAICT. We only do this while the PMU is
disabled; no?
You're right. I was just following the ARM ARM.
Taking another look, it is not clear about the semantics of "pmu->enable()"
and pmu->disable() callbacks.
I was talking about pmu::{pmu_disable,pmu_enable}(), so I'm not sure I
follow how arm_pmu::{enable,disable}() are relevant here.>
The arm_pmu::{enable,disable}() callbacks enable or disable individual
counters. For example, leaving unused counters disabled may save power,
even if the PMU as a whole is enabled.
Ah, I mistook cpu_pmu->enable/disable for the core pmu ops. My bad.
Sorry about the noise.
