[ Upstream commit 91668ab7db4bcfae332e561df1de2401f3f18553 ] PowerISA v3.1 introduces new control bit (PMCCEXT) for restricting access to group B PMU registers in problem state when MMCR0 PMCC=0b00. In problem state and when MMCR0 PMCC=0b00, setting the Monitor Mode Control Register bit 54 (MMCR0 PMCCEXT), will restrict read permission on Group B Performance Monitor Registers (SIER, SIAR, SDAR and MMCR1). When this bit is set to zero, group B registers will be readable. In other platforms (like power9), the older behaviour is retained where group B PMU SPRs are readable. Patch adds support for MMCR0 PMCCEXT bit in power10 by enabling this bit during boot and during the PMU event enable/disable callback functions.

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.
