Would it be possible to also enable CYCLE csr here (and I guess same
would propagate to mcounteren logic in the opensbi patches)? Are there
any security concerns in allowing applications to read it directly?

It would be useful given that the frequency of TIME is not fixed in spec
and it may not be enough for a rdtsc-like counter. In such cases CYCLE
csr might be useful to userspace applications (i.e. DPDK) with obvious
limitations such as gating via WFI or value changes when using perf.

For context: there was a similar situation with arm64 at the point of
DPDK port to that arch. Armv7-A standardized their timer (CNTVCT) but
not its frequency which usually was ~100MHz. The PMU cycle counter
(PMCCNTR) was by default disabled for read from userspace (EL0). This
required DPDK folks to create a kernel module to enable the PMCCNTR in
userspace so that they could implement high-resolution rte_rdtsc() call.
This got fixed in Armv8.6-A which specified the timer counter frequency
to be 1GHz.

If the CYCLE csr remains S-mode private, I will have to effectively
resort to the same kernel-module trick as arm64 in the RISC-V DPDK port.
Alternatively perhaps a sysfs knob or driver parameter could be added to
enable the CYCLE csr in U-mode?
