Minor nit, but this'd be slightly more legibile as two conditions, and thinking aboutthis some more, we should probably use -EOPNOTSUPP for the unsupported counter size case, since that can vary by platform (and aligns with what we do for mode exclusion).
So with this changed to:
if (armv8pmu_event_want_user_access(event)) { if (!(event->attach_state & PERF_ATTACH_TASK)) return -EINVAL; if (armv8pmu_event_is_64bit(event) && (hw_event_id != ARMV8_PMUV3_PERFCTR_CPU_CYCLES) && !armv8pmu_has_long_event(armpmu)) return -EOPNOTSUPP;
event->hw.flags |= PERF_EVENT_FLAG_USER_READ_CNT; }
Other than that (and modulo the PMSELR_EL0 issue noted in reply to the cover letter), this looks good to me.
Thanks, Mark.
