commit e89d120c4b720e232cc6a94f0fcbd59c15d41489 upstream.
The AMU counter AMEVCNTR01 (constant counter) should increment at the same
rate as the system counter. On affected Cortex-A510 cores, AMEVCNTR01
increments incorrectly giving a significantly higher output value. This
results in inaccurate task scheduler utilization tracking.
Work around this problem by keeping the reference values of affected
counters to 0. This results in disabling the single user of this
counter: Frequency Invariance Engine (FIE).
This effect is the same to firmware disabling affected counters, in
which case 0 will be returned when reading the disabled counters.
Therefore, AMU counters will not be used for frequency invariance for
affected CPUs and CPUs in the same cpufreq policy. AMUs can still be used
for frequency invariance for unaffected CPUs in the system.
The above is achieved through adding a new erratum: ARM64_ERRATUM_2457168.

Hi,
This is a backport to stable 5.10.142 of the upstream commit
e89d120c4b72 arm64: errata: add detection for AMEVCNTR01 incrementing incorrectly
This is sent separately as there were conflicts that needed resolving
when applying the mainline patch. Compared to the upstream version this
no longer handles the FFH usecase, as FFH support is not present in 5.10.
Therefore the commit message and Kconfig description are modified to
only describe the effect on FIE caused by this erratum.
Thanks,
Ionela.

Both backports now queued up, thanks.
