Hi, I know that kernel already support those flags for PMUv2 enabled chips with event filter. However, for PMUv1 chips without event filter capability, those flags are simply not supported. Considering that we can manually enable/disable any event counters for both PMUv1 and PMUv2 chips, technically we can support exlcude_* flags for PMUv1 chips by enable/disable the event counters in appropriate time manully. As fearless kernel hackers didn't do that till now, I am almost sure that I missed some apparent truth here. So, what's that? Thanks, Ender
