The testcase uses event code 0x500fa ("instructions") to check the
CC56RUN bit setting in Monitor Mode Control Register 0(MMCR0). In ISA
v3.1 platform, this bit is expected to be set in MMCR0 when using
Performance Monitor Counter 5 and 6 (PMC5 and PMC6). Verify this is done
correctly by perf interface.
CC56RUN bit makes PMC5 and PMC6 count regardless of the run latch state.
This bit is set in power10 since PMC5 and PMC6 is used in power10 for
counting instructions and cycles. Hence added a check to skip this test
in other platforms

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.
