Subject: ARM: 7663/1: perf: fix ARMv7 EVTYPE_MASK to include NSH bit
From: Will Deacon <[email protected]>
commit f2fe09b055e2549de41fb107b34c60bac4a1b0cf upstream.
Masked out PMXEVTYPER.NSH means that we can't enable profiling at PL2,
regardless of the settings in the HDCR.
This patch fixes the broken mask.
