ARM: 6834/1: perf: reset counters on all CPUs during initialisation
ARMv7 dictates that the interrupt-enable and count-enable registers for each PMU counter are UNKNOWN following core reset. This patch adds a new (optional) function pointer to struct arm_pmu for resetting the PMU state during init. The reset function is called on each CPU via an arch_initcall in the generic ARM perf_event code and allows the PMU backend to write sane values to any UNKNOWN registers.
