lib: pmu: allow to use the highest available counter
OpenSBI explicitly assumes that there is no pmu hardware counter with
index 1: hardware uses that bit for TM control. So OpenSBI filters
out that index in sanity checks. However OpenSBI also excludes that
counter when reports total amount of hardware counters to Linux. As
a result, Linux uses incomplete counters mask excluding the highest
available counter.
Return accurate number of counters, update the firmware counter
starting index, fix range checks that include num_hw_ctrs.
The simple test is to make sure that there is no counter multiplexing
in the following command:
$ perf stat -e \
r8000000000000000,r8000000000000001,r8000000000000002,r8000000000000003, \
r8000000000000004,r8000000000000005,r8000000000000006,r8000000000000007, \
r8000000000000008,r8000000000000009,r800000000000000a,r800000000000000b, \
r800000000000000c,r800000000000000d,r800000000000000e,r800000000000000f \
ls
Note that 16 firmware events with 16 counters won't require multiplexing.
