[0/2] ARM/arm64: Mark all accessor functions inline

  Hi all,

This patch series adds missing "inline" keywords to the few perf
accessors that lack them.

BTW, I tried converting my local timing code to the new unified system.
This works fine on arm64, but broke on arm32.  Is read_pmccntr()
supposed to work on arm32? I get an undefined instruction exception on
Cortex A15 and A9.  Before, my custom code used "mrc p15, 0, %0, c9,
c13, 0" (as is also used in arch/arm/kernel/perf_event_v7.c), for which
there is no accessor yet.

Thanks for your comments!

I'll get to that shortly.

You can only use this instruction on a CPU that implements PMUv3,
which limits it to an ARMv8 implementation (either a 64bit CPU in
32bit mode, or something like an A32). A15 and A9 being firmly in the
ARMv7 camp, they cannot make use of this (hence the UNDEF you're
getting).

Thanks,

	M.

That's expected.

This code is for PMUv3 (which was added as part of ARMv8), and one of the
things changed in PMUv3 was that PMCCNTR was expanded to 64 bits accessible via
MRRC and MCRR.

Previously, PMCCNTR was only 32 bits, and that's what Cortex-A9 and Cortex-A15
implement.

Thanks,
Mark.

Will, I assume that you'll pick these up as a cleanup/fix.

Thanks,
Mark.

Applied to arm64 (for-next/fixes), thanks!
