[PATCHv2] Support for perf on AMD family17h processors

From: Janakarajan Natarajan
Date: Thu Nov 17 2016 - 13:32:09 EST


This patch enables perf core PMU support for AMD family17h processors. In
family17h, there is no PMC-event constraint. All events, irrespective of
the type, can be measured using any of the performance counters.
