On HETEROGENEOUS hardware (ARM big.Little, Intel Alderlake etc.) each CPU might have a different hardware PMU. Since each such PMU is represented by a different struct pmu, but we only have a single HW task context. That means that the task context needs to switch PMU type when it switches CPUs. Not doing this means that ctx->pmu calls (pmu_{dis,en}able(), {start,commit,cancel}_txn() etc.) are called against the wrong PMU and things will go wobbly.

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.
