Subject: [PATCH 0/3] perf/x86/amd/uncore: Update AMD uncore driver

This patchset updates the AMD uncore driver to support AMD Family17h processors.

First, the current L2 counters are renamed to Last level cache (LLC) counter to
reflect either L2 or L3 counters depending on the family. Then, it also 
dynamically allocates the counters since they vary between Family16h and 17h.

Also, in Family17h, the NorthBridge counters are re-purposed as Data Fabric (DF)
counters. Therefore, this patch exports the pmu name accordingly based on the
processor family.

  perf/x86/amd/uncore: Update AMD uncore to rename L2 to LLC
  perf/x86/amd/uncore: Dynamically allocate uncore counters
  perf/x86/amd/uncore: Update sysfs attributes for Family17h processors
