FEAT_SPEv1p4 (optional from Armv8.8) adds some new filter bits and also
makes some previously available bits unavailable again e.g:
E[30], bit [30]
When FEAT_SPEv1p4 is _not_ implemented ...
Continuing to hard code the valid filter bits for each version isn't
scalable, and it also doesn't work for filter bits that aren't related
to SPE version. For example most bits have a further condition:
E[15], bit [15]
When ... and filtering on event 15 is supported:
Whether "filtering on event 15" is implemented or not is only
discoverable from the TRM of that specific CPU or by probing
PMSEVFR_EL1.
Instead of hard coding them, write all 1s to the PMSEVFR_EL1 register
and read it back to discover the RES0 bits. Unsupported bits are RAZ/WI
so should read as 0s.
For any hardware that doesn't strictly follow RAZ/WI for unsupported
filters: Any bits that should have been supported in a specific SPE
version but now incorrectly appear to be RES0 wouldn't have worked
anyway, so it's better to fail to open events that request them rather
than behaving unexpectedly. Bits that aren't implemented but also aren't
RAZ/WI will be incorrectly reported as supported, but allowing them to
be used is harmless.
Testing on N1SDP shows the probed RES0 bits to be the same as the hard
coded ones. The FVP with SPEv1p4 shows only additional new RES0 bits,
i.e. no previously hard coded RES0 bits are missing.
