+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #157304 +++

---Problem Description---
BZ 150738 added Power9 PMU event lists to the Linux kernel tree.
We need to update the event lists to include several more events
as well as clean up the event descriptions of some events.

The patches for these updates were posted to LKML
     https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/8/2/699
with:
    Subject: Re: [GIT PULL] Please pull JSON files for Power9 PMU events

and were merged into Arnaldo's "perf-core" tree as git commits:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux.git/commit/?h=perf/core&id=864c572433dedfb5c36db79c4ceb6dfb80b3344b
("perf vendor events powerpc: remove suffix in mapfile")

and

("perf vendor events powerpc: Update POWER9 events")

We will need to include those updates into

I tried cherry picking these onto 4.13, "perf vendor events powerpc: remove suffix in mapfile" I could do with a little backporting but "perf vendor events powerpc: Update POWER9 events" is trying to update files which don't exist in 4.13. So we're obviously missing some prerequisites, can you provide a full list of commits needed for 4.12/4.13?

I have added a dependency on the earlier bug, 150738, that added
the commits that are pre-requisite. Those commits are not in 4.13.

Specifically, from: comment #7 from the above bug:

---
Submitted a pull request for the P9 PMU event lists:

https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/7/12/415

which reads "[GIT PULL] Please pull JSON files for Power9 PMU events"
and which consists of these 2 patches:

Sukadev Bhattiprolu (2):
perf vendor events: Add POWER9 PMU events
perf vendor events: Add POWER9 PVRs to mapfile
---

[Seth Forshee (sforshee)]

Thanks. In addition to those I went ahead and applied "perf pmu-events: Support additional POWER8+ PVR in mapfile" for completeness and to make everything a clean cherry pick.

Applied to artful 4.12 and 4.13 branches.
