Extend the PMU counters test to validate architectural events using fixed counters. The core logic is largely the same, the biggest difference being that if a fixed counter exists, its associated event is available (the SDM doesn't explicitly state this to be true, but it's KVM's ABI and letting software program a fixed counter that doesn't actually count would be quite bizarre). Note, fixed counters rely on PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL.

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.
