The new RDPMC enhancement, metrics clear mode, is to clear the PERF_METRICS-related resources as well as the fixed-function performance monitoring counter 3 after the read is performed. It is available for ring 3. The feature is enumerated by the IA32_PERF_CAPABILITIES.RDPMC_CLEAR_METRICS[bit 19]. To enable the feature, the IA32_FIXED_CTR_CTRL.METRICS_CLEAR_EN[bit 14] must be set. Two ways were considered to enable the feature. - Expose a knob in the sysfs globally. One user may affect the measurement of other users when changing the knob. The solution is dropped. - Introduce a new event format, metrics_clear, for the slots event to disable/enable the feature only for the current process. Users can utilize the feature as needed. The latter solution is implemented in the patch. The current KVM doesn't support the perf metrics yet. For virtualization, the feature can be enabled later separately.

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 reStructuredText 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.
