[P9,Power NV][Witherspoon][Ubuntu 18.04][Perf] : PMU events by name it is not listed under perf list

Since kernel 4.13 is outdated on 18.04 and kernel 4.15 is available since quite some time:
 linux-generic | 4.15.0.10.11 | bionic | ppc64el
 linux-generic | 4.15.0.12.13 | bionic-proposed | ppc64el
please retry again with the latest kernel (ideally the one from 'bionic proposed').

Hi ,

Verified on Witherspoon DD2.2 machine . I am unable to see PMU events under perf list.
