Linux kernel source tree
c41ef29cc1
Add a test to demonstrate that when the guest programs an event select
it is matched correctly in the pmu event filter and not inadvertently
filtered. This could happen on AMD if the high nybble[1] in the event
select gets truncated away only leaving the bottom byte[2] left for
matching.
This is a contrived example used for the convenience of demonstrating
this issue, however, this can be applied to event selects 0x28A (OC
Mode Switch) and 0x08A (L1 BTB Correction), where 0x08A could end up
being denied when the event select was only set up to deny 0x28A.
[1] bits 35:32 in the event select register and bits 11:8 in the event
select.
[2] bits 7:0 in the event select register and bits 7:0 in the event
select.

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.
