I am trying to understand why we need this property for CTI. Don't we always need to save-restore the CTI controls on a CPU_DOWN for the associated CTI ? Since it may not be really tied to an ETM (e.g, if the CTI is purely used to handle CPU triggers, PMU etc,).

But I am trying to understand the rationale behind using this for CTI Suzuki _______________________________________________ linux-arm-kernel mailing list linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-arm-kernel
