Currently Monitor Mode Control Registers and Sampling registers are part of extended regs. Patch adds support to include Performance Monitor Counter Registers (PMC1 to PMC6 ) as part of extended registers. PMCs are saved in the perf interrupt handler as part of per-cpu array 'pmcs' in struct cpu_hw_events. While capturing the register values for extended regs, fetch these saved PMC values. Simplified the PERF_REG_PMU_MASK_300/31 definition to include PMU SPRs MMCR0 to PMC6. Exclude the unsupported SPRs (MMCR3, SIER2, SIER3) from extended mask value for CPU_FTR_ARCH_300 in the new definition. PERF_REG_EXTENDED_MAX is used to check if any index beyond the extended registers is requested in the sample. Have one PERF_REG_EXTENDED_MAX for CPU_FTR_ARCH_300/CPU_FTR_ARCH_31 since perf_reg_validate function already checks the extended mask for the presence of any unsupported register.

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.
