In Xe, the perf layer allows capture of HW counter streams. These HW
counters are generally performance related but don't have to be necessarily
so. Also, the name "perf" is a carryover from i915 and is not preferred.
Here we propose the name "observation" for this common layer which allows
capture of different types of these counter streams.
v2: Rename observability layer to observation layer (Lucas/Rodrigo)
v3: Rename sysctl file to "observation_paranoid" (Jose)

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 reStructuredText 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.
