As of Intel SDM (https://www.intel.com/sdm) version 076, there is a new Intel PT feature called Event Trace which requires 2 new packets CFE and EVD. Add them to the packet decoder and packet decoder test. Committer notes: I got the "Intel® 64 and IA-32 architectures software developer’s manual combined volumes: 1, 2A, 2B, 2C, 2D, 3A, 3B, 3C, 3D, and 4" PDF at: https://cdrdv2.intel.com/v1/dl/getContent/671200 And these new packets are described in page 3951: <quote> 32.2.4 Event Trace is a capability that exposes details about the asynchronous events, when they are generated, and when their corresponding software event handler completes execution. These include: o Interrupts, including NMI and SMI, including the interrupt vector when defined. o Faults, exceptions including the fault vector. — Page faults additionally include the page fault address, when in context. o Event handler returns, including IRET and RSM. o VM exits and VM entries.¹ — VM exits include the values written to the “exit reason” and “exit qualification” VMCS fields. INIT and SIPI events. o TSX aborts, including the abort status returned for the RTM instructions. o Shutdown. Additionally, it provides indication of the status of the Interrupt Flag (IF), to indicate when interrupts are masked. </quote> Signed-off-by: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com> Cc: Alexander Shishkin <alexander.shishkin@linux.intel.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20220124084201.2699795-4-adrian.hunter@intel.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
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.
