SubjectRe: [PATCH 3/7] perf: arm64: Use rseq to test userspace access to pmu counters
From
Date
Hi Mark, Hi Will,

Now that we have a better idea what enabling this feature for
heterogeneous systems would look like (both with or without using
rseqs), it might be worth discussing if this is in fact a desirable
thing in term of performance-complexity trade off.

Indeed, while not as scary as first thought, maybe the rseq method would
still dissuade users from using this feature. It is also worth noting
that if we only enable this feature on homogeneous system, the `mrs`
hook/emulation would not be necessary.
If because of the complexity of the setup we need to consider whether we
want to upstream this and have to maintain it afterward.

Thanks,
