In order to use perf tool on the Loongson platform, we should enable kernel
support for various performance events provided by software and hardware,
so add CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS=y to loongson3_defconfig.

E.g. without this patch:

[loongson@localhost perf]$ ./perf list

List of pre-defined events (to be used in -e):

  duration_time                                      [Tool event]

  rNNN                                               [Raw hardware event descriptor]
  cpu/t1=v1[,t2=v2,t3 ...]/modifier                  [Raw hardware event descriptor]
   (see 'man perf-list' on how to encode it)

  mem:<addr>[/len][:access]                          [Hardware breakpoint]

With this patch:

[loongson@localhost perf]$ ./perf list

List of pre-defined events (to be used in -e):

  branch-instructions OR branches                    [Hardware event]
  branch-misses                                      [Hardware event]
  cpu-cycles OR cycles                               [Hardware event]
  instructions                                       [Hardware event]

  alignment-faults                                   [Software event]
  bpf-output                                         [Software event]
  context-switches OR cs                             [Software event]
  cpu-clock                                          [Software event]
  cpu-migrations OR migrations                       [Software event]
  dummy                                              [Software event]
  emulation-faults                                   [Software event]
  major-faults                                       [Software event]
  minor-faults                                       [Software event]
  page-faults OR faults                              [Software event]
  task-clock                                         [Software event]

  duration_time                                      [Tool event]

  L1-dcache-load-misses                              [Hardware cache event]
  L1-dcache-store-misses                             [Hardware cache event]
  L1-icache-load-misses                              [Hardware cache event]
  branch-load-misses                                 [Hardware cache event]
  branch-loads                                       [Hardware cache event]
  dTLB-load-misses                                   [Hardware cache event]
  dTLB-store-misses                                  [Hardware cache event]
  iTLB-load-misses                                   [Hardware cache event]

  rNNN                                               [Raw hardware event descriptor]
  cpu/t1=v1[,t2=v2,t3 ...]/modifier                  [Raw hardware event descriptor]
   (see 'man perf-list' on how to encode it)

  mem:<addr>[/len][:access]                          [Hardware breakpoint]
