The Arm NI-700 Network-on-Chip Interconnect has a relatively
straightforward design with a hierarchy of voltage, power, and clock
domains, where each clock domain then contains a number of interface
units and a PMU which can monitor events thereon. As such, it begets a
relatively straightforward driver to interface those PMUs with perf.
Even more so than with arm-cmn, users will require detailed knowledge of
the wider system topology in order to meaningfully analyse anything,
since the interconnect itself cannot know what lies beyond the boundary
of each inscrutably-numbered interface. Given that, for now they are
also expected to refer to the NI-700 documentation for the relevant
event IDs to provide as well. An identifier is implemented so we can
come back and add jevents if anyone really wants to.

After commit 39915b6b5f ("drivers/perf: hisi: Add description for HNS3
PMU driver"),building the 'htmldocs' target results in the following
warning:
| Documentation/admin-guide/perf/hns3-pmu.rst: WARNING: document isn't included in any toctree
Add 'hns3-pmu' to the perf toctree to silence the warning.

Initial driver for PMU event counting on the Arm CMN-600 interconnect.
CMN sports an obnoxiously complex distributed PMU system as part of
its debug and trace features, which can do all manner of things like
sampling, cross-triggering and generating CoreSight trace. This driver
covers the PMU functionality, plus the relevant aspects of watchpoints
for simply counting matching flits.

Sphinx is currently outputting a warning where
the file 'imx-ddr.rst' is not included in the
documentation index. Additionally, the code
highlighting and doc formatting can be slightly
improved.

The perf infrastructure is used for userspace to track issues.
At least a good part of what's described here is related to
it.
So, add it to the admin-guide.
