Tiezhu Yang e2e13925ff MIPS: Loongson: Add support for perf tool
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

  branch-instructions OR branches                    [Hardware event]

README

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.
