Currently we access the counter registers and their respective type registers indirectly. This requires us to write to PMSELR, issue an ISB, then access the relevant PMXEV* registers. This is unfortunate, because: * Under virtualization, accessing one register requires two traps to the hypervisor, even though we could access the register directly with a single trap. * We have to issue an ISB which we could otherwise avoid the cost of. * When we use NMIs, the NMI handler will have to save/restore the select register in case the code it preempted was attempting to access a counter or its type register. We can avoid these issues by directly accessing the relevant registers. This patch adds helpers to do so. In armv8pmu_enable_event() we still need the ISB to prevent the PE from reordering the write to PMINTENSET_EL1 register. If the interrupt is enabled before we disable the counter and the new event is configured, we might get an interrupt triggered by the previously programmed event overflowing, but which we wrongly attribute to the event that we are enabling. Execute an ISB after we disable the counter. In the process, remove the comment that refers to the ARMv7 PMU.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
