Arm BSA (Base System Architecture) specification says:

B_PE_09: PEs must implement the FEAT_PMUv3p1 extension, and the base
system must expose a minimum of four programmable PMU counters to the
operating system.

B_PE_21: The base system must expose a minimum of two programmable PMU
counters to a hypervisor.

It is then repeated in SBSA (Server Base System Architecture)
specification in level 3 requirements:

Each PE must implement a minimum of six programmable PMU counters.

So let make QEMU provide those 6 PMU counters.

SBSA-ACS says now:

  12 : Check number of PMU counters      : Result:  PASS

It would be good if we could get 6.0 closer to SBSA compliance.
Would it be worth the effort to make this controllable per cpu model?

How far away are we at the moment ?

> Would it be worth the effort to make this controllable per cpu model?


I don't have a strong opinion on whether we should, but if we do then the
right way to implement that would be to have the PMCR reset value
as a reset_pmcr_el0 field in struct ARMCPU (like the existing reset_fpsid,
reset_sctlr, etc) that gets set per-CPU to whatever the CPU's value for
it is; and then instead of using a PMCR_NUM_COUNTERS value,
extract the PMCR.N field when needed. The hardest part would be
going through all the CPU TRMs to find out the correct reset value.

Hard to tell me how many of those things are missing in QEMU and how 
many in EDK2 we use as firmware.

SBSA-ACS failures:

GIC ITS is missing (Shashi Mallela works on it):

  102 : If PCIe, then GIC implements ITS  : Result:  --FAIL-- 1
  104 : GIC Maintenance Interrupt         : Result:  --FAIL-- 1


System timers are not present in GTDT so few more tests are not run:

  206 : SYS Timer if PE Timer not ON      : Result:  --FAIL-- 1
        PE Timers are not always-on.
  207 : CNTCTLBase & CNTBaseN access      : Result:  -SKIPPED- 1
        No System timers are defined
  505 : Wake from System Timer Interrupt  : Result:  -SKIPPED- 1
        No system timers implemented


There is no SMMU present so SMMU and IO virtualization tests are not 
run. This one is probably related:

  605 : Memory Access to Un-Populated addr: Result:  --FAIL-- 1
        Memory access check fails at address = 0x104C0000

That makes sense.

I guess we could also phase the transition by using the default value
if zero?

I tend to prefer to avoid that kind of transitional thing, because
as a project we have a tendency to never complete transitions. The
PMU stuff only applies to the v7 and v8 cores, and we don't implement
that many of them, so it's better to just make the effort to find out
the correct PMCR reset value for them and be done with it.

Understood.

I'll throw this on my never-shrinking pile of things I hope to get
around to at some point.

I just sent a patch that does it that way, though it is desperately
in need of more testing. I'm currently on the fence about whether to
put this patch or that one in for 6.0.
