Uncore counters do not provide mechanisms like interrupts to report overflows and the accumulated user-visible count is incorrect if there is more than one overflow between two successive read requests for the same event because the value of prev_count goes out-of-date for calculating the correct delta. To avoid this, start a hrtimer to periodically initiate a pmu->read() of the active counters for keeping prev_count up-to-date. It should be noted that the hrtimer duration should be lesser than the shortest time it takes for a counter to overflow for this approach to be effective.

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.
