The below error is observed on Ice Lake VM. $ perf stat Error: The sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with 22 (Invalid argument) for event (slots). /bin/dmesg | grep -i perf may provide additional information. In a virtualization env, the Topdown metrics and the slots event haven't been supported yet. The guest CPUID doesn't enumerate them. However, the current kernel unconditionally exposes the slots event and the Topdown metrics events to sysfs, which misleads the perf tool and triggers the error. Hide the perf-metrics topdown events and the slots event if the perf-metrics feature is not enumerated. The big core of a hybrid platform can also supports the perf-metrics feature. Fix the hybrid platform as well.

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 reStructuredText 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.
