ARM: 6833/1: perf: add required isbs() to ARMv7 backend
The ARMv7 architecture does not guarantee that effects from co-processor writes are immediately visible to following instructions. This patch adds two isbs to the ARMv7 perf code: (1) Immediately after selecting an event register, so that the PMU state following this instruction is consistent with the new event. (2) Immediately before writing to the PMCR, so that any previous writes to the PMU have taken effect before (typically) enabling the counters.
