Each PMU has a set of 32bit event counters. But in some special cases, the events could be counted using counters which are effectively 64bit wide. e.g, Arm V8 PMUv3 has a 64 bit cycle counter which can count only the CPU cycles. Also, the PMU can chain the event counters to effectively count as a 64bit counter. Add support for tracking the events that uses 64bit counters. This only affects the periods set for each counter in the core driver.

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.
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.
