[PATCH] MIPS: Loongson: Add support for perf tool

[Tiezhu Yang]

In order to use perf tool on the Loongson platform, we should enable kernel
support for various performance events provided by software and hardware,
so add CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS=y to loongson3_defconfig.

E.g. without this patch:

[loongson@localhost perf]$ ./perf list

List of pre-defined events (to be used in -e):

  duration_time                                      [Tool event]

  rNNN                                               [Raw hardware event descriptor]
  cpu/t1=v1[,t2=v2,t3 ...]/modifier                  [Raw hardware event descriptor]
   (see 'man perf-list' on how to encode it)

  mem:<addr>[/len][:access]                          [Hardware breakpoint]

With this patch:

[loongson@localhost perf]$ ./perf list

List of pre-defined events (to be used in -e):

  branch-instructions OR branches                    [Hardware event]
