How to check RISC-V CPU sscofpmf extension in runtime?

[Paran Lee]

Hello, Atish.
I have tested perf on Starfive Visionfive2 board.

I want to know how to check sscofpmf extension support in user program
or tools.

user@starfive:~/CppTest$ ~/starfive-visionfive2-linux/tools/perf/perf
record -g ./main.o
Error:
The sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with 22 (Invalid argument)
for event (cycles:u).
/bin/dmesg | grep -i perf may provide additional information.

[    2.356857] riscv-pmu-sbi: SBI PMU extension is available
[    2.362841] riscv-pmu-sbi: 16 firmware and 4 hardware counters
[    2.369302] riscv-pmu-sbi: Perf sampling/filtering is not supported
as sscof extension is not available

user@starfive:$ grep PERF_EVENT /boot/config-5.15.0-dirty
CONFIG_HAVE_PERF_EVENTS=y
CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS=y

So, I find "sscof extension is not available" position of the code

drivers/perf/riscv_pmu_sbi.c
pmu_sbi_device_probe()

	ret = pmu_sbi_setup_irqs(pmu, pdev);

I think adding the result value to the logs will give us a mor detail.
I want to patch :)

I did perf test.
