Subject[PATCH v2 1/6] MIPS: perf: More robustly probe for the presence of per-tc counters
Date
Processors implementing the MIPS MT ASE may have performance counters
implemented per core or per TC. Processors implemented by MIPS
Technologies signify presence per TC through a bit in the implementation
specific Config7 register. Currently the code which probes for their
presence blindly reads a magic number corresponding to this bit, despite
it potentially having a different meaning in the CPU implementation.

The test of Config7.PTC was previously enabled when CONFIG_BMIPS5000 was
enabled. However, according to [florian], the BMIPS5000 manual does not
define this bit, so we can assume it is 0 and the feature is not
supported.

Introduce probe_mipsmt_pertccounters() to probe for the presence of per
TC counters. This detects the ases implemented in the CPU, and reads any
implementation specific bit flagging their presence. In the case of MIPS
implementations, this bit is Config7.PTC. A definition of this bit is
added in mipsregs.h for MIPS Technologies. No other implementations
support this feature.
