HiSilicon HIP08 does support Topdown metrics but perf tool complains
when trying to count Topdown metrics:
[root@localhost tracing]# perf stat --topdown
Topdown requested but the topdown metric groups aren't present.
(See perf list the metric groups have names like TopdownL1)
It's because tool's using "Topdown" as the metric group name[1] rather
than "TopDown", so follow the convention. This is introduced by [2]
which allows to use json metrics to support --topdown function.

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.
