[ Upstream commit 3b6c3adbb2fa42749c3d38cfc4d4d0b7e096bb7b ] PMU counter support functions enforces event constraints for group of events to check if all events in a group can be monitored. Incase of event codes using PMC5 and PMC6 ( 500fa and 600f4 respectively ), not all constraints are applicable, say the threshold or sample bits. But current code includes pmc5 and pmc6 in some group constraints (like IC_DC Qualifier bits) which is actually not applicable and hence results in those events not getting counted when scheduled along with group of other events. Patch fixes this by excluding PMC5/6 from constraints which are not relevant for it.

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.
