CodyYao-oc 3a4ac121c2 x86/perf: Add hardware performance events support for Zhaoxin CPU.
Zhaoxin CPU has provided facilities for monitoring performance
via PMU (Performance Monitor Unit), but the functionality is unused so far.
Therefore, add support for zhaoxin pmu to make performance related
hardware events available.

The PMU is mostly an Intel Architectural PerfMon-v2 with a novel
errata for the ZXC line. It supports the following events:

  -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
