The rfi_flush and entry_flush selftests work by using the PM_LD_MISS_L1 perf event to count L1D misses. The value of this event has changed over time: - Power7 uses 0x400f0 - Power8 and Power9 use both 0x400f0 and 0x3e054 - Power10 uses only 0x3e054 Rather than relying on raw values, configure perf to count L1D read misses in the most explicit way available. This fixes the selftests to work on systems without 0x400f0 as PM_LD_MISS_L1, and should change no behaviour for systems that the tests already worked on. The only potential downside is that referring to a specific perf event requires PMU support implemented in the kernel for that platform.

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.
