With the MMCR0 control bit (PMCCEXT) in ISA v3.1, read access to group B registers is restricted when MMCR0 PMCC=0b00. In other platforms (like power9), the older behaviour works where group B PMU SPRs are readable. Patch creates a selftest which verifies that the test takes a SIGILL when attempting to read PMU registers via helper function "dump_ebb_state" for ISA v3.1.

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.
