[PATCH] Support for perf on AMD family17h processors
From: Janakarajan Natarajan
Date: Wed Nov 16 2016 - 13:36:29 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.
