The testcase uses "instructions" event to verify two bits(PMAE and PMAO) in Monitor Mode Control Register 0 (MMCR0). At the time of interrupt, pmae bit ( which enables performance monitor exception ) is expected to be cleared and pmao (which indicates performance monitor alert) bit is expected to be set in MMCR0. And testcases handles these checks.

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.
