The DDR_MON counters are free running counters. These are resetted to 0 when starting them over like currently done when reading the current counter values. Resetting the counters becomes a problem with perf support we want to add later, because perf needs counters that are not modified elsewhere. This patch removes resetting the counters and keeps them running instead. That means we no longer use the absolute counter values but instead compare them with the counter values we read last time. Not stopping the counters also has the impact that they are running while we are reading them. We cannot read multiple timers atomically, so the values do not exactly fit together. The effect should be negligible though as the time between two measurements is some orders of magnitude bigger than the time we need to read multiple registers.

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.
