From: Raphael Gault <raphael.ga...@arm.com> In order to be able to access the counter directly for userspace, we need to provide the index of the counter using the userpage. We thus need to override the event_idx function to retrieve and convert the perf_event index to armv8 hardware index.
Since the arm_pmu driver can be used by any implementation, even if not armv8, two components play a role into making sure the behaviour is correct and consistent with the PMU capabilities: * the ARMPMU_EL0_RD_CNTR flag which denotes the capability to access counter from userspace. * the event_idx call back, which is implemented and initialized by the PMU implementation: if no callback is provided, the default behaviour applies, returning 0 as index value.
