The XMM registers can only be collected by PEBS hardware events on the
platforms with PEBS baseline support, e.g. Icelake, not software/probe
events.
Add capabilities flag PERF_PMU_CAP_EXTENDED_REGS to indicate the PMU
which support extended registers. For X86, the extended registers are
XMM registers.
Add has_extended_regs() to check if extended registers are applied.
The generic code define the mask of extended registers as 0 if arch
headers haven't overridden it.

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.
