IBS hardware with the OpCntExt feature gets a 7-bit wider internal counter. Both the maximum and current count bitfields in the IBS_OP_CTL register are extended to support reading and writing it. No changes are necessary to the driver for handling the extra contiguous current count bits (IbsOpCurCnt), as the driver already passes through 32 bits of that field. However, the driver has to do some extra bit manipulation when converting from a period to the non-contiguous (although conveniently aligned) extra bits in the IbsOpMaxCnt bitfield. This decreases IBS Op interrupt overhead when the period is over 1,048,560 (0xffff0), which would previously activate the driver's software counter. That threshold is now 134,217,712 (0x7fffff0).

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.
