Currently, we have [intel|knc|p4|p6]_perfmon_event_map on the Intel platforms and amd_[f17h]_perfmon_event_map on the AMD platforms. Early clumsy KVM code or other potential perf_event users may have hard-coded these perfmon_maps (e.g., arch/x86/kvm/svm/pmu.c), so it would not make sense to program a common hardware event based on the generic "enum perf_hw_id" once the two tables do not match. Let's provide an interface for callers outside the perf subsystem to get the counter config based on the perfmon_event_map currently in use, and it also helps to save bytes.

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.
