[PATCH V4 37/38] x86/intel_rdt: Support L3 cache performance event of Broadwell

From: Reinette Chatre
Date: Tue May 22 2018 - 14:39:19 EST


Broadwell microarchitecture supports pseudo-locking. Add support for
the L3 cache related performance events of these systems so that
the success of pseudo-locking can be measured more accurately on these
platforms.
