      arm64: perf: use architected event for CPU cycle counter · f46f979f
      Will Deacon 提交于
      We currently use a fake event encoding (0xFF) to indicate CPU cycles so
      that we don't waste an event counter and can target the hardware cycle
      counter instead.
      
      The problem with this approach is that the event space defined by the
      architecture permits an implementation to allocate 0xFF for some other
      event.
      
      This patch uses the architected cycle counter encoding (0x11) so that
      we avoid potentially clashing with event encodings on future CPU
      implementations.
