Perf implements a GPU delay (noa_wait) by looping until the CS timestamp has passed a certain point. This use MI_MATH and the general purpose registers of the user's context, and since it is clobbering the user state it must carefully save and restore the user's data around the noa_wait. We can verify this by loading some values in the GPR that we know will be clobbered by the noa_wait, and then inspecting the GPR after the noa_wait completes and confirming that they have been restored.

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.
