Certain AMD platforms enable power gating feature for IOMMU PMC,
which prevents the IOMMU driver from updating the counter while
trying to validate the PMC functionality in the init_iommu_perf_ctr().
This results in disabling PMC support and the following error message:
"AMD-Vi: Unable to read/write to IOMMU perf counter"
To workaround this issue, disable power gating temporarily by programming
the counter source to non-zero value while validating the counter,
and restore the prior state afterward.

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.
