perf/imx_ddr: Add stop event counters support for i.MX8MP
DDR Perf driver only supports free-running event counters(counter1/2/3) now, this patch adds support for stop event counters. Legacy SoCs: Cycle counter(counter0) is a special counter, only count cycles. When cycle counter overflow, it will lock all counters and generate an interrupt. In ddr_perf_irq_handler, disable cycle counter then all counters would stop at the same time, update all counters' count, then enable cycle counter that all counters count again. During this process, only clear cycle counter, no need to clear event counters since they are free-running counters. They would continue counting after overflow and do/while loop from ddr_perf_event_update can handle event counters overflow case. i.MX8MP: Almost all is the same as legacy SoCs, the only difference is that, event counters are not free-running any more. Like cycle counter, when event counters overflow, they would stop counting unless clear the counter, and no interrupt generate for event counters. So we should clear event counters that let them re-count when cycle counter overflow, which ensure event counters will not lose data. This patch adds stop event counters support which would be compatible to free-running event counters. We use the cycle counter to stop overflow of the event counters.
