    MIPS: Probe for MIPS MT perf counters per TC · 8270ab48
    Matt Redfearn authored
    Processors implementing the MIPS MT ASE may have performance counters
    implemented per core or per TC. Processors implemented by MIPS
    Technologies signify presence per TC through a bit in the implementation
    specific Config7 register. Currently the code which probes for their
    presence blindly reads a magic number corresponding to this bit, despite
    it potentially having a different meaning in the CPU implementation.
    
    Since CPU features are generally detected by cpu-probe.c, perform the
    detection here instead. Introduce cpu_set_mt_per_tc_perf which checks
    the bit in config7 and call it from MIPS CPUs known to implement this
    bit and the MT ASE, specifically, the 34K, 1004K and interAptiv.
    
    Once the presence of the per-tc counter is indicated in cpu_data, tests
    for it can be updated to use this flag.
