Avoid using the PMUVer of the host's PMU hardware to determine the PMU event mask, except in one case, as the value of host's PMUVer may differ from the value of ID_AA64DFR0_EL1.PMUVer for the guest. The exception case is when using the PMUVer to determine the valid range of events for KVM_ARM_VCPU_PMU_V3_FILTER, as it has been allowing userspace to specify events that are valid for the PMU hardware, regardless of the value of the guest's ID_AA64DFR0_EL1.PMUVer. KVM will use a valid range of events based on the value of the guest's ID_AA64DFR0_EL1.PMUVer, in order to effectively filter events that the guest attempts to program though.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
