The +first registered range defines the global policy (global ALLOW if the first +@action is DENY, global DENY if the first @action is ALLOW). Multiple ranges +can be programmed, and must fit within the event space defined by the PMU +architecture (10 bits on ARMv8.0, 16 bits from ARMv8.1 onwards). + +Note: "Cancelling" a filter by registering the opposite action for the same +range doesn't change the default action. For example, installing an ALLOW +filter for event range [0:10) as the first filter and then applying a DENY +action for the same range will leave the whole range as disabled. + +Restrictions: Event 0 (SW_INCR) is never filtered, as it doesn't count a +hardware event. Filtering event 0x1E (CHAIN) has no effect either, as it +isn't strictly speaking an event. Filtering the cycle counter is possible +using event 0x11 (CPU_CYCLES). + 2.
