Recently there was an undetected breakage for std arch event support. Add support in "PMU events" testcase to detect such breakages. For this, the "test" arch needs has support added to process std arch events. And a test event is added for the test, ifself. Also add a few code comments to help understand the code a bit better. Committer testing: Before: # perf test -vv pmu |& grep l3_cache_rd # After: # perf test -vv pmu |& grep l3_cache_rd testing event table l3_cache_rd: pass testing aliases PMU cpu: matched event l3_cache_rd # Signed-off-by: John Garry <john.garry@huawei.com> Reviewed-By: Kajol Jain<kjain@linux.ibm.com> Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/1603364547-197086-3-git-send-email-john.garry@huawei.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
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.
