Is the device trusted firmware / hypervisor configured to allow Linux kernel access to PMU counters? As per the description in the warning, if DBGEN is not enabled, the PMU counters will all read as zero.

Do you get any errors showing up in dmesg when you try to enable the counters?

Do you get any errors showing up in the gatord log if you run it with debug logging enabled?

Cheers,
Pete
