Kan Liang ee28855a54 perf/x86/intel: Increase max number of the fixed counters 
The new PEBS format 5 implies that the number of the fixed counters can
be up to 16. The current INTEL_PMC_MAX_FIXED is still 4. If the current
kernel runs on a future platform which has more than 4 fixed counters,
a warning will be triggered. The number of the fixed counters will be
clipped to 4. Users have to upgrade the kernel to access the new fixed
counters.

Add a new default constraint for PerfMon v5 and up, which can support
up to 16 fixed counters. The pseudo-encoding is applied for the fixed
counters 4 and later. The user can have generic support for the new
fixed counters on the future platfroms without updating the kernel.

Increase the INTEL_PMC_MAX_FIXED to 16.

README 

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.
