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.
