At present ARMv8 event counters are limited to 32-bits, though by using the CHAIN event it's possible to combine adjacent counters to achieve 64-bits. The perf config1:0 bit can be set to use such a configuration. With the introduction of ARMv8.5-PMU support, all event counters can now be used as 64-bit counters. Let's enable 64-bit event counters where support exists. Unless the user sets config1:0 we will adjust the counter value such that it overflows upon 32-bit overflow. This follows the same behaviour as the cycle counter which has always been (and remains) 64-bits.

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.
