In the Intel PMU counters test, only validate the counts for architectural
events that are supported in hardware. If an arch event isn't supported,
the event selector may enable a completely different event, and thus the
logic for the expected count is bogus.
This fixes test failures on pre-Icelake systems due to the encoding for
the architectural Top-Down Slots event corresponding to something else
(at least on the Skylake family of CPUs).
Note, validation relies on *hardware* support, not KVM support and not
guest support. Architectural events are all about enumerating the event
selector encoding; lack of enumeration for an architectural event doesn't
mean the event itself is unsupported, i.e. the event should still count as
expected even if KVM and/or guest CPUID doesn't enumerate the event as
being "architectural".
Note #2, it's desirable to _program_ the architectural event encoding even
if hardware doesn't support the event. The count can't be validated when
the event is fully enabled, but KVM should still let the guest program the
event selector, and the PMC shouldn't count if the event is disabled.

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.
