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.

The fixed counter 3 is used for the Topdown metrics, which hasn't been enabled for KVM guests. Userspace accessing to it will fail as it's not included in get_fixed_pmc(). This breaks KVM selftests on ICX+ machines, which have this counter. To reproduce it on ICX+ machines, ./state_test reports: ==== Test Assertion Failure ==== lib/x86_64/processor.c:1078: r == nmsrs pid=4564 tid=4564 - Argument list too long 1 0x000000000040b1b9: vcpu_save_state at processor.c:1077 2 0x0000000000402478: main at state_test.c:209 (discriminator 6) 3 0x00007fbe21ed5f92: ?? ??:0 4 0x000000000040264d: _start at ??:? Unexpected result from KVM_GET_MSRS, r: 17 (failed MSR was 0x30c) With this patch, it works well.
