The pipeline stage cycles details can be recorded on powerpc from the contents of Performance Monitor Unit (PMU) registers. On ISA v3.1 platform, sampling registers exposes the cycles spent in different pipeline stages. Patch adds perf tools support to present two of the cycle counter information along with memory latency (weight). Re-use the field 'ins_lat' for storing the first pipeline stage cycle. This is stored in 'var2_w' field of 'perf_sample_weight'. Add a new field 'p_stage_cyc' to store the second pipeline stage cycle which is stored in 'var3_w' field of perf_sample_weight. Add new sort function 'Pipeline Stage Cycle' and include this in default_mem_sort_order[]. This new sort function may be used to denote some other pipeline stage in another architecture. So add this to list of sort entries that can have dynamic header string.

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.
