> Documentation/arch/arm64/perf.rst points at
> tools/perf/arch/arm64/tests/user-events.c, in the text and in the link
> target, but the file does not exist: no file of that name is in
> tools/perf/arch/arm64/tests/, and no commit in the history leading to
> this base has added one.
>
> The userspace register access described in this section is covered by
> the "User space counter reading of instructions" and "User space
> counter reading of cycles" cases in tools/perf/tests/mmap-basic.c.
> That file is the only in-tree userspace test that walks the core PMUs,
> pins the test task to each PMU's CPUs, and selects the PMU by its type
> number when the kernel accepts the extended type.
>
> perf test -v user runs the four cases in that file; the two reading
> cases ask for user access through config1.
>
> Point the text and the link target at that file.
>
> make htmldocs does not fetch external links, so a plain documentation
> build does not report it, but make linkcheckdocs does. I checked that
> the old link target returns 404 and the new one returns 200. No kernel

> The edit and this changelog were written with the help of an LLM
