Subject[PATCH v4] perf: Align user space counter reading with code
From
Align the user space counter reading documentation with the code in
perf_mmap__read_self. Previously the documentation was based on the perf
rdpmc test, but now general purpose code is provided by libperf.

Signed-off-by: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com>
Reviewed-by: Rob Herring <robh@kernel.org>

v4. Is a rebase.
