Bug Description

[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.

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!
