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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.

Perf stat doesn't count the uncore event aliases from the same uncore
block in a group, for example:
perf stat -e '{unc_m_cas_count.all,unc_m_clockticks}' -a -I 1000
# time counts unit events
1.000447342 <not counted> unc_m_cas_count.all
1.000447342 <not counted> unc_m_clockticks
2.000740654 <not counted> unc_m_cas_count.all
2.000740654 <not counted> unc_m_clockticks
The output is very misleading. It gives a wrong impression that the
uncore event doesn't work.
An uncore block could be composed by several PMUs. An uncore event alias
is a joint name which means the same event runs on all PMUs of a block.
Perf doesn't support mixed events from different PMUs in the same group.
It is wrong to put uncore event aliases in a big group.
The right way is to split the big group into multiple small groups which
only include the events from the same PMU.
Only uncore event aliases from the same uncore block should be specially
handled here. It doesn't make sense to mix the uncore events with other
uncore events from different blocks or even core events in a group.
With the patch:
# time counts unit events
1.001557653 140,833 unc_m_cas_count.all
1.001557653 1,330,231,332 unc_m_clockticks
2.002709483 85,007 unc_m_cas_count.all
2.002709483 1,429,494,563 unc_m_clockticks
