[Bionic] Update ThunderX2 implementation defined pmu core events

[Manoj Iyer]

[IMPACT]
=======
The ARM architecture defines several events as part of the Performance Monitor Unit (PMU) Extension. In addition, Cavium has added "implementation defined" pmu core events, which Cavium deems most useful for analyzing performance. Currently perf does not list these "implementation defined" events.

[FIX]
====
b9b77222d4ff perf vendor events arm64: Update ThunderX2 implementation defined pmu core events

[TEST]
====
With the patch applied perf lists the additional PMU events.

[REGRESSION POTENTIAL]
======================
The patch is limited to ARM64, ThunderX2 PMU core definitions json file. No regression potential for any kernel subsystems.

[Ubuntu Kernel Bot (ubuntu-kernel-bot)]

This bug is missing log files that will aid in diagnosing the problem. While running an Ubuntu kernel (not a mainline or third-party kernel) please enter the following command in a terminal window:

apport-collect 1796904

and then change the status of the bug to 'Confirmed'.

If, due to the nature of the issue you have encountered, you are unable to run this command, please add a comment stating that fact and change the bug status to 'Confirmed'.

This change has been made by an automated script, maintained by the Ubuntu Kernel Team.

[Brad Figg (brad-figg)]

This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed-bionic' to 'verification-done-bionic'. If the problem still exists, change the tag 'verification-needed-bionic' to 'verification-failed-bionic'.

If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you!
