Public bug reported:
[Impact]
Without this driver, users of Qualcomm QDF2400 servers will be unable to
profile L3 cache events.
[Test case]
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo perf list | grep l3cache | wc -l
84
Without this driver, there are 0.
[Regression Risk]
This is a new driver that is only used on these servers, so the regression risk
is pretty isolated to this platform. To mitigate the risk there, I ran
perf_fuzzer on that system and verified that it survived. Note: I did this
testing w/ a workaround for LP: #1689855 applied, to avoid hangs caused by a
hardware issue.
