ARM Performance Monitoring Unit Table describes the properties of PMU support in ARM-based system. The APMT table contains a list of nodes, each represents a PMU in the system that conforms to ARM CoreSight PMU architecture. The properties of each node include information required to access the PMU (e.g. MMIO base address, interrupt number) and also identification. For more detailed information, please refer to the specification below: * APMT: https://developer.arm.com/documentation/den0117/latest * ARM Coresight PMU: https://developer.arm.com/documentation/ihi0091/latest The initial support adds the detection of APMT table and generic infrastructure to create platform devices for ARM CoreSight PMUs. Similar to IORT the root pointer of APMT is preserved during runtime and each PMU platform device is given a pointer to the corresponding APMT node.

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.
