The design of the OA unit has been split into several units. We now
have a global unit (OAG) and a render specific unit (OAR). This leads
to some changes on how we program things. Some details :
OAR:
- has its own set of counter registers, they are per-context
saved/restored
- counters are not written to the circular OA buffer
- a snapshot of the counters can be acquired with
MI_RECORD_PERF_COUNT, or a single counter can be read with
MI_STORE_REGISTER_MEM.
OAG:
- has global counters that increment across context switches
- counters are written into the circular OA buffer (if requested)
v2: Fix checkpatch warnings on code style (Lucas)
v3: (Umesh)
- Update register from which tail, status and head are read
- Update logic to sample context reports
- Update whitelist mux and b counter regs
v4: Fix a bug when updating context image for new contexts (Umesh)
v5: Squash patch enabling save/restore of counters into context image
We want this so we can preempt performance queries and keep the
system responsive even when long running queries are ongoing. We
avoid doing it for all contexts.
- use LRI to modify context control (Chris)
- use MASKED_FIELD to program just the masked bits (Chris)
- disable save/restore of counters on cleanup (Chris)
v6: Do not use implicit parameters (Chris)

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.
