To support capturing of PMC's as part of extended registers, the value of SPR's PMC1 to PMC6 has to be saved in the starting of PMI interrupt handler. This is needed since we are resetting the overflown PMC before creating sample and hence directly reading SPRN_PMCx in 'perf_reg_value' will be capturing the modified value. To solve this, add a per-cpu array as part of structure cpu_hw_events and use this array to capture PMC values in the perf interrupt handler. Patch also re-factor's the interrupt handler code to use this per-cpu array instead of current local array.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
