From: James Clark <james.clark@linaro.org> mainline inclusion from mainline-v6.19-rc1 category: feature bugzilla: https://atomgit.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/9066 CVE: NA Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?i... ----------------------------------------------- FEAT_SPE_EFT and FEAT_SPE_FDS etc have new user facing format attributes so document them. Also document existing 'event_filter' bits that were missing from the doc and the fact that latency values are stored in the weight field.
