The ARM PMU driver can be used to represent a variety of ARM based PMUs. Some of these PMUs do not provide support for context exclusion, where this is the case we advertise the PERF_PMU_CAP_NO_EXCLUDE capability to ensure that perf prevents us from handling events where any exclusion flags are set. Where an ARM PMU driver has the set_event_filter function implemented, we rely on it to perform exclusion checks. At present some of these functions do not test for all of the available exclude flags.

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.
