perf/x86: Add perf support for AMD family-17h processors
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
This patch enables perf core PMU support for the new AMD family-17h processors.

In family-17h, there is no PMC-event constraint. All events, irrespective of
the type, can be measured using any of the six generic performance counters.
