Linux kernel source tree

Perf doesn't work at perf stat for hardware events on certain x86 platforms:
$perf stat -- sleep 1
Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1':
16.44 msec task-clock # 0.016 CPUs utilized
2 context-switches # 121.691 /sec
0 cpu-migrations # 0.000 /sec
54 page-faults # 3.286 K/sec
<not supported> cycles
<not supported> instructions
<not supported> branches
<not supported> branch-misses
The reason is that the check in x86_pmu_hw_config() for sampling events is
unexpectedly applied to counting events as well.
It should only impact x86 platforms with limit_period used for non-PEBS
events. For Intel platforms, it should only impact some older platforms,
e.g., HSW, BDW and NHM.

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.
