[PATCH v2 2/6] arm64: trap to EL1 accesses to AMU counters from EL0

From: Ionela Voinescu
Date: Wed Dec 18 2019 - 13:27:11 EST


The activity monitors extension is an optional extension introduced
by the ARMv8.4 CPU architecture. In order to access the activity
monitors counters safely, if desired, the kernel should detect the
presence of the extension through the feature register, and mediate
the access.

Therefore, disable direct accesses to activity monitors counters
from EL0 (userspace) and trap them to EL1 (kernel).
