In Power9, L2/L3 bus events are always available as a "bank" of 4 events. To obtain the counts for any of the l2/l3 bus events in a given bank, the user will have to program PMC4 with corresponding l2/l3 bus event for that bank. Commit59029136d7("powerpc/perf: Add constraints for power9 l2/l3 bus events") enforced this rule in Power9. But this is not valid for Power10, since in Power10 Monitor Mode Control Register2 (MMCR2) has bits to configure l2/l3 event bits. Hence remove this PMC4 constraint check from power10. Since the l2/l3 bits in MMCR2 are not per-pmc, patch handles group constrints checks for l2/l3 bits in MMCR2.

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.
