Currently the PMUv3 driver only reads PMMIR_EL1 if the PMU implements
FEAT_PMUv3p4 and the STALL_SLOT event, but the check for STALL_SLOT event
isn't necessary and can be removed.
The check for STALL_SLOT event was introduced with the read of PMMIR_EL1 in
commit f5be3a61fd ("arm64: perf: Add support caps under sysfs")
When this logic was written, the ARM ARM said:
| If STALL_SLOT is not implemented, it is IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED whether
| the PMMIR System registers are implemented.
... and thus the driver had to check for STALL_SLOT event to verify that
PMMIR_EL1 was implemented and accesses to PMMIR_EL1 would not be UNDEFINED.
Subsequently, the architecture was retrospectively tightened to require
that any FEAT_PMUv3p4 implementation implements PMMIR_EL1. Since the G.b
release of the ARM ARM, the wording regarding STALL_SLOT event has been
removed, and the description of PMMIR_EL1 says:
| This register is present only when FEAT_PMUv3p4 is implemented.
Drop the unnecessary check for STALL_SLOT event when reading PMMIR_EL1.

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.
