The SBI v2.0 specification pointed to by the link below reserves the event code 0xffff for platform specific firmware events. Update the driver to be able to parse and program such events. The platform specific firmware events must now be specified in the perf command as below: perf stat -e rCxxx ... where bits[63:62] = 0x3 of the event config indicate a platform specific firmware event and xxx indicate the actual event code which is passed as the event data.

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 reStructuredText 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.
