arm64: perf: Avoid PMXEV* indirection
Currently we access the counter registers and their respective type registers indirectly. This requires us to write to PMSELR, issue an ISB, then access the relevant PMXEV* registers. This is unfortunate, because: * Under virtualization, accessing one register requires two traps to the hypervisor, even though we could access the register directly with a single trap. * We have to issue an ISB which we could otherwise avoid the cost of. * When we use NMIs, the NMI handler will have to save/restore the select register in case the code it preempted was attempting to access a counter or its type register. We can avoid these issues by directly accessing the relevant registers. This patch adds helpers to do so. In armv8pmu_enable_event() we still need the ISB to prevent the PE from reordering the write to PMINTENSET_EL1 register. If the interrupt is enabled before we disable the counter and the new event is configured, we might get an interrupt triggered by the previously programmed event overflowing, but which we wrongly attribute to the event that we are enabling. Execute an ISB after we disable the counter. In the process, remove the comment that refers to the ARMv7 PMU.
