SBI PMU extension defines a set of firmware events which can provide useful information to guests about the number of SBI calls. As hypervisor implements the SBI PMU extension, these firmware events correspond to ecall invocations between VS->HS mode. All other firmware events will always report zero if monitored as KVM doesn't implement them. This patch adds all the infrastructure required to support firmware events.

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.
