Hmm, the documentation reads
Access to the Cycle Counter Register in User mode depends on the V bit, =
see c15, Secure User and Non-secure Access Validation Control Register. =
The Cycle Counter Register is always accessible in Privileged modes. =
Table 3.139 lists the results of attempted access for each mode.

and the table shows read/write access for Secure Privileged and =
Non-secure Privileged,
but for User you need the V-bit. So in which modes are the user programs =
running?

One the normal kernel I get the Illegal Instruction error when I run the =
program.

Best regards
