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]
branch-misses [Hardware event]
cpu-cycles OR cycles [Hardware event]
instructions [Hardware event]
