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 reStructuredText 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.

From PMU's perspective, Lunar Lake and Arrow Lake are similar to the previous generation Meteor Lake. Both are hybrid platforms, with e-core and p-core. The key differences include: - The e-core supports 3 new fixed counters - The p-core supports an updated PEBS Data Source format - More GP counters (Updated event constraint table) - New Architectural performance monitoring V6 (New Perfmon MSRs aliasing, umask2, eq). - New PEBS format V6 (Counters Snapshotting group) - New RDPMC metrics clear mode The legacy features, the 3 new fixed counters and updated event constraint table are enabled in this patch. The new PEBS data source format, the architectural performance monitoring V6, the PEBS format V6, and the new RDPMC metrics clear mode are supported in the following patches.
