* perf docs arm_spe: Clarify more SPE requirements related to KPTIJames Clark2024-03-211-1/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The question of exactly when KPTI needs to be disabled comes up a lot because it doesn't always need to be done. Add the relevant kernel function and some examples that describe the behavior. Also describe the interrupt requirement and that no error message will be printed if this isn't met.

* perf docs: Add man page entry for Arm SPEJames Clark2022-04-141-0/+218
The SPE integration in Perf has quite a few usability quirks that can't be found by just reading the reference manual. So document this and at the same time add a summary of the feature that is also hard to find elsewhere.
