perf: add qcom l2 cache perf events driver

Adds perf events support for L2 cache PMU.

The L2 cache PMU driver is named 'l2cache_0' and can be used
with perf events to profile L2 events such as cache hits
and misses on Qualcomm Technologies processors.

+Qualcomm Technologies Level-2 Cache Performance Monitoring Unit (PMU)
+=====================================================================
+
+This driver supports the L2 cache clusters found in Qualcomm Technologies
+Centriq SoCs. There are multiple physical L2 cache clusters, each with their
+own PMU. Each cluster has one or more CPUs associated with it.
+
+There is one logical L2 PMU exposed, which aggregates the results from
+the physical PMUs.
+
+The driver provides a description of its available events and configuration
+options in sysfs, see /sys/devices/l2cache_0.
+
+The "format" directory describes the format of the events.
+
+Events can be envisioned as a 2-dimensional array. Each column represents
+a group of events. There are 8 groups. Only one entry from each
+group can be in use at a time. If multiple events from the same group
+are specified, the conflicting events cannot be counted at the same time.
+
+Events are specified as 0xCCG, where CC is 2 hex digits specifying
+the code (array row) and G specifies the group (column) 0-7.
+
+In addition there is a cycle counter event specified by the value 0xFE
+which is outside the above scheme.
+
+The driver provides a "cpumask" sysfs attribute which contains a mask
+consisting of one CPU per cluster which will be used to handle all the PMU
+events on that cluster.
+
+Examples for use with perf:
+
+  perf stat -e l2cache_0/config=0x001/,l2cache_0/config=0x042/ -a sleep 1
+
+  perf stat -e l2cache_0/config=0xfe/ -C 2 sleep 1
+
+The driver does not support sampling, therefore "perf record" will
+not work. Per-task perf sessions are not supported.
