MIPS/Perf-events: Don't do validation on raw events
MIPS licensees may want to modify performance counters to count extra events. Also, now that the user is working on raw events, the manual is being used for sure. And feeding unsupported events shouldn't cause hardware failure and the like. [ralf@linux-mips.org: performance events also being used in internal performance evaluation and have a tendency to change as the micro- architecture evolves, even for minor revisions that may not be distinguishable by PrID. It's not very practicable to maintain a list of all events and there is no real benefit.] Signed-off-by: Deng-Cheng Zhu <dczhu@mips.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@ghostprotocols.net> Cc: David Daney <david.daney@cavium.com> Cc: Eyal Barzilay <eyal@mips.com> Cc: Zenon Fortuna <zenon@mips.com> Patchwork: https://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/3107/ Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>
