ARM: 6975/1: pmu: reject duplicate PMU registrations
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Currently, the PMU reservation framework allows for multiple PMUs of
the same type to register themselves. This can lead to a bug with the
sequence:

register_pmu(pmu1);
reserve_pmu(pmu_type);
register_pmu(pmu2);
release_pmu(pmu1);

Here, pmu1 cannot be released, and pmu2 cannot be reserved.

This patch modifies register_pmu to reject registrations where a PMU is
already present, preventing this problem. PMUs which can have multiple
instances should not use the PMU reservation framework.
