Add support for the new s390 PMU device cpum_cf_diag to extract the
counter set diagnostic data. This data is available as event raw data
and can be created with this command:
[root@s35lp76 perf]# ./perf record -R -e '{rbd000,rbc000}' --
~/mytests/facultaet 2500
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.009 MB perf.data ]
[root@s35lp76 perf]#
The new event 0xbc000 generated this counter set diagnostic trace data.
The data can be extracted using command:
[root@s35lp76 perf]# ./perf report --stdio --itrace=d
#
# Total Lost Samples: 0
#
# Samples: 21 of events 'anon group { rbd000, rbc000 }'
# Event count (approx.): 21

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.
