Wei Huang 477c50e8dc drivers/perf: arm_pmu_acpi: avoid perf IRQ init when guest PMU is off
We saw perf IRQ init failures when running Linux kernel in an ACPI
guest without PMU (i.e. pmu=off). This is because perf IRQ is not
present when pmu=off, but arm_pmu_acpi still tries to register
or unregister GSI. This patch addresses the problem by checking
gicc->performance_interrupt. If it is 0, which is the value set
by qemu when pmu=off, we skip the IRQ register/unregister process.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
