Subject: [PATCH v3 1/2] arm64: errata: Factor out broken AMU const counter cap
Date: Tue, 29 Sep 2026 17:42:13 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260929154325.3416271-2-beata.michalska@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260929154325.3416271-1-beata.michalska@arm.com>

Move the workaround from the erratum 2457168-specific cpucap to a generic
broken AMU constant-counter one. This keeps the existing Cortex-A510
handling unchanged while allowing other errata with similar AMU constant
counter issue to share the capability bit and call sites.
