Kan Liang 2c2a9bbe7f perf/x86/intel: Disable userspace RDPMC usage for large PEBS 
Userspace RDPMC cannot possibly work for large PEBS, which was introduced in:

  b8241d2069 ("perf/x86/intel: Implement batched PEBS interrupt handling (large PEBS interrupt threshold)")

When the PEBS interrupt threshold is larger than one, there is no way
to get exact auto-reload times and value for userspace RDPMC.  Disable
the userspace RDPMC usage when large PEBS is enabled.

The only exception is when the PEBS interrupt threshold is 1, in which
case user-space RDPMC works well even with auto-reload events.

README 

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.
