Commit bb19af816025 ("powerpc/perf: Prevent kernel address leak to
userspace via BHRB buffer") added a check in bhrb_read() to filter
the kernel address from BHRB buffer. This patch modified it to avoid
that check for PowerISA v3.1 based processors, since PowerISA v3.1
allows only MSR[PR]=1 address to be written to BHRB buffer.

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.
