With FEAT_ECV and the 1GHz counter, it is pretty likely that the event stream divider doesn't fit in the field that holds the divider value (we only have 4 bits to describe counter bits [15:0] Thankfully, FEAT_ECV also provides a scaling mechanism to switch the field to cover counter bits [23:8] instead. Enable this on arm64 when ECV is available (32bit doesn't have any detection infrastructure and is unlikely to be run on an ARMv8.6 system anyway).

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.
