In TLB miss handlers, updating the perf counter is only useful when performing a perf analysis. As it has a noticeable overhead, let's only do it when needed. In order to do so, the exit of the miss handlers will be patched when starting/stopping 'perf': the first register restore instruction of each exit point will be replaced by a jump to the counting code. Once this is done, CONFIG_PPC_8xx_PERF_EVENT becomes useless as this feature doesn't add any overhead.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
