[ Upstream commit 2de71ee153efa93099d2ab864acffeec70a8dcd5 ] This patch fixes the encoding for INST_RETIRED.PREC_DIST as published by Intel (download.01.org/perfmon/) for Icelake. The official encoding is event code 0x00 umask 0x1, a change from Skylake where it was code 0xc0 umask 0x1. With this patch applied it is possible to run: $ perf record -a -e cpu/event=0x00,umask=0x1/pp ..... Whereas before this would fail. To avoid problems with tools which may use the old code, we maintain the old encoding for Icelake.

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.
