This work arounds errata 1490853 on Cortex-A76, and Neoverse-N1, errata 1491015 on Cortex-A77, errata 1502854 on Cortex-X1, and errata 1619801 on Neoverse-V1, based affected cpus, where software read for TRCIDR3.CCITMIN field in ETM gets an wrong value. If software uses the value returned by the TRCIDR3.CCITMIN register field, then it will limit the range which could be used for programming the ETM. In reality, the ETM could be programmed with a much smaller value than what is indicated by the TRCIDR3.CCITMIN field and still function correctly. If software reads the TRCIDR3.CCITMIN register field, corresponding to the instruction trace counting minimum threshold, observe the value 0x100 or a minimum cycle count threshold of 256. The correct value should be 0x4 or a minimum cycle count threshold of 4. This work arounds the problem via storing 4 in drvdata->ccitmin on affected systems where the TRCIDR3.CCITMIN has been 256, thus preserving cycle count threshold granularity. These errata information has been updated in Documentation/arch/arm64/silicon-errata.rst, but without their corresponding configs because these have been implemented directly in the driver.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
