Raghavendra Rao Ananta 7fc40c960c KVM: arm64: Ignore PMCNTENSET_EL0 while checking for overflow status
commit 54bbee190d42166209185d89070c58a343bf514b upstream.

DDI0487K.a D13.3.1 describes the PMU overflow condition, which evaluates
to true if any counter's global enable (PMCR_EL0.E), overflow flag
(PMOVSSET_EL0[n]), and interrupt enable (PMINTENSET_EL1[n]) are all 1.
Of note, this does not require a counter to be enabled
(i.e. PMCNTENSET_EL0[n] = 1) to generate an overflow.

Align kvm_pmu_overflow_status() with the reality of the architecture
and stop using PMCNTENSET_EL0 as part of the overflow condition. The
bug was discovered while running an SBSA PMU test [*], which only sets
PMCR.E, PMOVSSET<0>, PMINTENSET<0>, and expects an overflow interrupt.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
