Subject: Re: [PATCH v4 2/9] arm64: perf: Enable pmu counter direct access for
perf event on armv8
Hi Rob,
Thanks for this, and sorry for the long delay since this was last
reviewed. Overall this is looking pretty good, but I have a couple of
remaining concerns.
Will, I have a query for you below.

PMUSERENR.ER gives RW access to PMSELR_EL0. While we no longer use
PMSELR_EL0 in the kernel, we can preempt and migrate userspace tasks
between homogeneous CPUs, and presumably need to context-switch this
with the task (like we do for TPIDR_EL0 and friends), or clear the
register on context-switch to prevent it becoming an unintended covert
channel.
These bits also enable AArch32 access. Is there any way an AArch32 task
can enable this? If so we should probably block that given we do not
support this interface on 32-bit arm.

I didn't think we kept our mm_cpumask() up-to-date in all cases on
arm64, so I'm not sure we can use it like this.
Will, can you confirm either way?
Thanks,
Mark.
